Alleged One Order MC member faces gun charges
Toronto, Ontario, Canada (July 10, 2024) - A man and a woman are facing more than a dozen firearms-related charges each after investigators executed a search warrant last month. The OPP-led Biker Enforcement Unit (BEU) seized ammunition, two firearms, One Order Motorcycle Club vests and two cellphones on June 21.
Police said one of the individuals arrested is a member of the One Order Motorcycle Club. The One Order Motorcycle Club includes former street gang members and has had a close association with the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, Det. Insp. Scott Wade from the BEU said.
The BEU, a joint forces unit led by the OPP’s organized crime bureau, says its mandate is to “disrupt and dismantle organized crime groups” and to lessen the criminal activities of what they call “Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs.” Police say motorcycle gang members often take part in illegal, profit-driven activities like drug trafficking, extortion, intimidation and murder.
The 49-year-old man and a 46-year-old woman from Etobicoke are each facing 15 charges, including unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose and possession of a firearm obtained by crime. They are both scheduled to appear in court next month and have been released from custody.
