RCMP RELEASES REPORT ON HELLS ANGELS CRIMES

Kelowna -- Members of the Hells Angels rely on intimidation and even murder
to protect and expand their drug operations in Canada, a federal report says.

The document was released yesterday by the RCMP in Kelowna, where police
targeted the Hells Angels in a raid last month.

The report uses RCMP expert witness testimony from a 2005 Ontario trial
that concluded the Hells Angels are officially a criminal organization.

Kelowna RCMP Superintendent Bill McKinnon says he released the 33-page
report prepared by federal Justice officials because he wants the public to
be aware of the Angels and their illegal activities.
