The Herouxville Hells Angels MC clubhouse is a fairly new clubhouse, and was bought for the sole intention of becoming a clubhouse back in 2020, the HAMC presence started becoming evident in fall of 2022. The main hangout for the Trois-Rivieres’ club members. Situated on the 1639 Rang Saint-Pierre street of the Herouxville community, the abode had been built in 1903. The terrain was valued at a slim 140,900$. Two small structures soon appeared on the terrain, with the house being painted red and white, the famous color palette the legendary motorcycle club is known for.
Since its purchase, it seems that this residence only results in bad news and curious headlines. Being the clubhouse for one of the many handful of chapters in Quebec, it has recently faced a ‘blocking order’ by the authorities in the region. Last week, on the 16th of April, police had their squadron’s boots on the ground by 8am. Ten or so police vehicles had been present, coming and going in and out of the clubhouse, some patched members included. Notably hauling spirits and beer from the clubhouse. The blockage order permitted authorities to seize the property, taking the time to install surveillance cameras and new locks upon the residence.
This event had resulted in a siege, rather than a complete seizure of the property, with the actions taken by the authorities hoping to deter the bikers from the property. One individual, a Satan’s Crew MC member, was at the property at the time of the event last Wednesday. This operation is a sequel to the seizure which had occurred on January 10th at the very same residence. This latter operation had resulted in the seizure of a shotgun, methamphetamine tablets, a sack of psychedelic mushrooms and 2300$ in cash. Other weapons such as pepper spray, 4 knives and a nightstick were also seized. Patches and jewelry were also seized as well as 975 liters of booze. Three out of the 16 individuals present at the clubhouse at the time of the raid had been arrested.
The Satan’s Crew MC clubhouse in Becancour, a support club of the Trois-Rivieres chapter HAMC also faced a raid on November 20th of 2024. Eighty or so officers took place in the raid which resulted in a measly two arrests for firearms violations. It’s unknown whether these two raids latter mentioned had anything to do with each other, but they were both brought on by the ERM, the Regional Mixed Squad of the SQ (Quebec Provincial Police).
Then there was the shots fired at the clubhouse on the 18th of September, 2024. An arson occurred towards 9pm of that night, which is when 911 had been dialed. The call had been placed by a neighbor of the clubhouse. On Tuesday, December 19th of 2023, only a couple of months after the clubhouse had been purchased, it had been targeted by a flurry of gunshots. Nothing ever came out of that investigation.
Going back to the original subject at hand, nobody will be able to set foot upon the premises unless authorized. It’s still a mystery what the town’s main goal is with this blockage order but mainstream news hint this might be the HAMC’s last days of having presence in Herouxville, with it hardly lasting 3 years. Neighbors remark to authorities on how the HAMC have been exceptional neighbors, hardly causing problems for the neighborhood. If any violence is happening, it clearly comes from opposing factions. It seems that this takedown is spearheaded by the town and its mayor, Michel Tremblay. No arrests have been made in light of this event.
