It was a Hells Angel traitor who led police to their most siginificant busts in Ontario history and it’s not over yet, the OPP confirmed today.

The joint forces investigation resulted in 27 arrests yesterday, including 15 Hells Angels members and one Vagabond.

Police seized about $1-million in assets including more than $470,000 in cash, $300,000 in vehicles and $140,000 in motorcycles.

“We’ve hit them hard and now they have to look over their shoulders,” said Det. Supt. Don Bell of the Ontario Provincial Police.

Police across the GTA said at a news conference today that they have identified seemingly legitimate businessees and they are working to seize them.

Project Tandem also resulted in the arrest of two Oshawa bikers charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Sources told the Star that the intended was a recruiter for the defunct Bandidos bike gang.

The investigation also resulted in first-degree murder charges in an unrelated 1999 murder of a Cobourg man.
