The Ontario Provincial Police say its Biker Enforcement Unit began an intelligence-led drug trafficking investigation in September 2026 involving individuals associated with a support club of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, and that on Thursday, October 1, 2026 officers executed search warrants at a residence and on two vehicles in Belle River. The force says the searches seized 19 rifles and shotguns, one prohibited handgun, a prohibited over-capacity magazine, bulk ammunition, approximately 1.5 ounces of suspected cocaine, $70,000 in Canadian currency, digital scales and drug packaging materials, and two outlaw motorcycle gang support club vests. A 52-year-old man and a 31-year-old man, both of Belle River, face ten counts between them by a tally of the listed charges. Both were released from custody and are scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Windsor on Wednesday, December 23, 2026. The charges were reported on October 20. No names have been released.

The Charges

Kingsville Times, which carries the force’s text under an OPP News Portal byline, sets out the counts for each accused with their Criminal Code and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act section numbers. The 52-year-old man is charged with “Possession of a prohibited device or ammunition, section 92(2) CC,” “Unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm, section 91(1) CC,” “Possession of proceeds of property obtained by crime over $5,000, section 354(1)(a) CC” and “Possession for the purpose of trafficking – cocaine, section 5(2) CDSA.”

The 31-year-old man is charged with “Careless storage of a firearm, section 86(1) CC,” “Possession of a prohibited device or ammunition, s. 92(2) CC,” “Unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm, section 91(1) CC,” “Possession of proceeds of property obtained by crime over $5,000, section 354(1)(a) CC” and two counts of “Possession for the purpose of trafficking – cocaine, section 5(2) CDSA.”

Four counts for the older man and six for the younger make ten counts by a tally of the listed charges.

The OPP’s Support Club Wording

The OPP text describes the investigation as “involving individuals associated with a support club of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club.” The text lists “two outlaw motorcycle gang support club vests” among the items seized.

What the OPP Says Was Seized

The Kingsville Times text lists the following as seized: 19 rifles and shotguns, one prohibited handgun, one prohibited over-capacity magazine, bulk ammunition, approximately 1.5 ounces of suspected cocaine, $70,000 in Canadian currency, digital scales and drug packaging materials, and two outlaw motorcycle gang support club vests. The 19 rifles and shotguns and the one handgun make the 20 firearms in the windsoriteDOTca headline.

Both accused are presumed innocent, and none of the charges has been tested in court. The allegations are those of the Ontario Provincial Police, as published in the force’s text carried by Kingsville Times and as reported by Windsor News Today and windsoriteDOTca.
