The Hells Angels Nanaimo clubhouse has been seized by the Province, under B.C.’s Civil Forfeiture Act.  

Under the new legislation, government sought and was granted a Preservation order against the property in civil court. The order means the building and its contents are legally frozen and can’t be used,mortgaged or sold.

Under the new act , that came into force in May 2006 , where it is proven in civil court that property has been acquired as a result of unlawful activity, or been used for unlawful activity, the Supreme Court can order forfeiture of the property.

There are currently more than 60 additional cases being actively pursued, on behalf of British Columbians, by government’s civil forfeiture office. To date, over $2 million in cash and assets obtained through illegal activities have been turned over to taxpayers over the past 17 months.

When your profits are over a million a week, a few houses here or there make little difference. But congratulations anyways at least it provides the appearance of success.

Oh, come on, folks... they're simple motorcycle enthusiasts who are the target of a police smear campaign. A better group of people you'll never find.

The above, of coarse, is sarcasm.
