A large procession of up to 1000 Hells Angels members is set to roll through the city's east end for a memorial ride Thursday afternoon.

“This procession will inevitably cause traffic disruption in our city. “As with any large gathering in our city, TPS will have visible resources in the area to ensure public safety and to minimize disruption and manage traffic issues,” Baptiste said. Baptiste said the gathering is being held in honour of an unnamed former Hells Angel and is separate from the motorcycle club’s national ride set for this weekend in Whitby.

More than 1000 bikers, including members of Hells Angels and enthusiasts, rode through the Toronto area on Thursday in memory of a member who died recently.

"In California, they they used to be an all-white club. They don't want to call bad attention to themselves," the Toronto Star journalist said. Earlier this week, Durham Police noted the motorcycle club is an organized crime group responsible for drug and human trafficking among other offences. Now they have charters in Asia. They have a lot of non-white members." "We have a command post set up in the area and we have been in ongoing communication with this group to understand what exactly they intend to do," Baptiste said. Toronto police said in a news conference Wednesday to brace for an "unsanctioned" Hells Angel biker procession, meaning the group did not get a permit for the event from the city.
