Vancouver — Hells Angels Member Arrested In Ottawa

The Canadian Press, 26 Jan, 2018 12:15 PM

Vancouver police say they've made a high profile arrest in two separate gang-related murders in 2012.

Police say 40-year-old Hells Angels member Larry Ronald Amero was arrested Thursday in Ottawa and will remain in custody until he's returned to B.C. to face charges of conspiracy to commit murder in the killings of Sandip Duhre and Sukhveer Dhak.

They say Amero is well known to police and was badly injured in a shooting that left Red Scorpions leader Jonathan Bacon dead in 2011.

Thirty-two-year-old Dean Michael Wiwchar and 30-year-old Rabih “Robby” Alkhali are charged with the murder of Duhre while Wiwchar is also accused of conspiracy in the death of Dhak.
