More than 100 motorcycle gang members removed from Calgary business over weekend
Calgary police say officers removed more than a hundred people from local businesses over the weekend amid an influx of outlaw motorcycle gangs.
Police issued a public warning on Friday that Calgarians could expect to see an increase in members of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club and other groups around the city for a 'planned gathering.'
On Monday, police confirmed to CTV News that 145 people were ejected from several businesses after staff grew 'concerned about the presence of members in their establishments.'
'No arrests were made in relation to the ejections,' police said.
According to police, hundreds of Hells Angels members were in the city for the weekend event.
Officers issued 10 summonses for traffic and/or parking offences.

B.C. court records show second charge against alleged hijacker Shaheer Cassim
RCMP officers inspect a Cessna 172 at Vancouver International Airport on July 17, 2025, after the pilot was arrested. The man accused of hijacking a plane and triggering a security scare at Vancouver International Airport last week faces a second charge related to the rogue flight. B.C. online court records say a charge of damaging or interfering with a navigation system was sworn Friday against Shaheer Cassim. Cassim was arrested July 15 after allegedly threatening a flight instructor at Victoria International Airport, seizing control of a Cessna, then circling the plane over Vancouver's airport before landing and being arrested by police. Police say the 39-year-old had an 'ideological motive to disrupt airspace' and announced a charge of hijacking the day after the flight. Both charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. Cassim is a former commercial airline pilot who posted on social media the day before the airport security scare that he was a 'messenger of Allah' sent to save humanity from catastrophic climate change. Cassim is expected to appear in Provincial Court in Richmond, B.C., on Tuesday. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 21, 2025.
