Police hand out 300 tickets at Hells Angels weekend biker gathering in Quebec

MONTREAL — Quebec provincial police say they handed out more than 300 tickets during a weekend Hells Angels biker gathering that was largely incident-free.

Police say about 500 people passed through checkpoints, including some 300 biker gang members who set up near St-Charles-sur-Richelieu, southeast of Montreal.

The full-patch Hells members and their associates were in the rural Quebec town for the biker gang’s annual Canada Run, which takes place in a different province each year.

Police say most of the tickets were for minor road safety infractions such as riding without a helmet or riding on the shoulder.
