How active are the Hells Angels in your province?
There are 34 chapters of Hells Angels in Canada.
Roll over the map to find out where they are.
The Criminal Intelligence Service considers the
Hells Angels to be the foremost organized crime
group in Canada topping the traditional Mafia and
other gangs.
The Hells Angels began in California
in 1948. The group took it's name from a 1930's
movie directed by Howard Hughes and starring Jean
Harlow. It followed the exploits of a group of WWI
fliers but had nothing to do with motorcycles.
Worldwide the Hells have over 3000
members. There are 228 chapters in 25 countries.
The highest numbers of Hells Angels can be found
in the U.S., Canada and Germany. They also have
chapters in the Scandinavian countries, Italy, Brazil,
Argentina and South Africa. Anywhere there is capitalism
and opportunity for profit, the Hells are there.
Their reach is said to stretch into
drugs, the sex trade and associations with the Mafia
but they also allegedly have associates who work
in the stock market and technology industry.
