Police are keeping vigilant about an outlaw motorcycle gang that once dominated northern Ontario streets and appears to be making a comeback.

“We've seen Hells Angels and other outlaw motorcycle gangs involved in every crime, from white- collar, blue-collar, homicides, human trafficking, importing, exporting, drug trafficking, and violence is one of their tools of the trade,” said Wade.
