All four were released from custody pending future court appearances.
“The Red Devils are a support club for the Hells Angels, and operate under their direction,” said Insp. Ron Desilva of the New Brunswick RCMP’s Federal Serious and Organized Crime unit.
“The Hells Angels are involved in the drug trade in New Brunswick, bringing harmful elements into our communities.”
