Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have been working with local forces for about a year to arrest 27 gang members believed to be part of a drug trafficking ring, including members of the Hells Angels and Red Devils motorcycle gangs.

They also shut down a biker clubhouse on Highway 37 in Belleville and a storefront downtown. The operation, called “Project Coyote,” was a collaboration between the OPP and Toronto, Belleville, and Windsor police services.
