Demolition of the former Hells Angels clubhouse in Nanaimo got underway yesterday.

Heavy machinery was at the location in the city91Ƶs south end Wednesday, Nov. 15, and B.C. Minister of Public Safety Mike Farnworth issued a statement about the demolition of the building, which he said was previously used to co-ordinate criminal activities.

The province legally owns the former Hells Angels clubhouses in Nanaimo, East Vancouver and Kelowna.

91ƵGovernment will continue to protect British Columbians and take action against organized crime by seizing illegally obtained assets 91Ƶ brick by brick, we will demolish organized crime and those that profit from it,91Ƶ the minister said.

Farnworth said the forfeiture of the properties is a step in 91Ƶputting organized crime on notice91Ƶ in B.C. and said demolishing the Nanaimo clubhouse is a testament to the work of everyone involved, from undercover and anti-gang law enforcement to the police agencies, civil forfeiture office and legal counsel that continued to work on the case.
