Police applaud Priestly Demolition wrecking of Hell’s Angels gang HQ.
Police officers were among the onlookers when a former Hells Angels clubhouse in Oshawa, Ontario was demolished on 30 March. A crowd of civilians, as well as a helicopter, were also there to observe the demo job by Aurora-based Priestly Demolition. For members of the Durham Regional Police Service who observed the demolition, the building stood as a symbol of defiance to authority.
“This really is a symbol of criminal activity and organized crime, basically snubbing their nose at the community and saying ‘we’re here and we’re not going anywhere and you can’t make us go anywhere,’ and now they’re gone,” Durham Regional Police Service Chief Mike Ewles told Oshawa This Week.
The contract apparently meant rather less to Priestly Demolition. “It was nothing special to us,” says John Phillips, vice-president of operations with Priestly. “It doesn’t make any difference to us if the front door says Hells Angels or Girl Guides. The Ministry of the Attorney General asked us for a quote a year ago and recently asked us to get the job done quickly to finish the contract before their financial year-end.”
