Arrest of a Hell's Angels President Linked to Recent Child Assault

Dale Sweeney, Winnipeg chapter president.

The Hell's Angels Winnipeg chapter president, Dale Sweeney, had an expensive motorcycle confiscated after his arrest for drug trafficking allegations, in relation to an RCMP operation called Project Flatlined.

The title of the operation is likely a reference to the Redliner support club that merged into the Hell's Angels in 1997, this club is also present in Ontario, and I sincerely hope the Redliners days are numbered.

This arrest may be in relation to Dale's brother, Rodney Sweeney, stalking a man and his 14 year old nephew, who suffers from leukaemia, in a van and assaulting them both with a blunt weapon, a few days prior.

The victims may have provided information once in custody, which would be why they were followed in the first place, as this being a random act of violence after being stalked is unlikely.

So far 23 arrests have been made in this investigation, let's hope there are more.
