Hells Angels now outsourcing their drug business

Increased police scrutiny of the Hells Angels has pushed the infamous gang into outsourcing its drug trade business to smaller outfits – a likely reason why a full-patch Angel was in the same SUV as Red Scorpions gangster Jonathan Bacon when the vehicle was riddled by gunfire.

“If you are a full-patch biker, you no longer drive around on a Harley with your full leather, showing your tattoos. It doesn’t pay to advertise and it doesn’t pay to do the risky work at the street level,” said organized-crime expert Michael Chettleburgh. “It pays to develop relationships with these young, eager gangsters who don’t look at risk the same way as the older folks do.”
