In October 2024, the EPS EDGE Section launched an investigation into the One Order Motorcycle Club (MC) establishing roots in Edmonton. With chapters already active in Eastern Canada, this chapter was identified as a one-percent outlaw group with ties to violence and is closely aligned with the Hells Angels.
Supported by the RCMP Federal Policing Northwest Region, EDGE led the 11-month investigation that uncovered criminal activity including firearms trafficking, conspiracy to traffic firearms, commit extortion, robbery, assaults, and organized crime involvement by the One Order MC and its members.
On Sept. 23, 2025, the project was concluded with EDGE leading more than 200 officers from EPS, RCMP, ALERT, and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) B.C executing search warrants across 40 locations in Alberta and B.C. Seizures included 19 firearms, numerous prohibited weapons and replica firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, a pair of bullet-proof vests, 50,000 contraband cigarettes, $118,000 in cash, and a steroid manufacturing and pill pressing operation with more than 82,000 pills in Sherwood Park. There were also coordinated arrests on the members of One Order MC and associates, including a full-patched Hells Angels member and an identified firearm supplier.
The investigation provided substantial evidence of One Order MC’s status as a criminal organization under Canadian law, successfully dismantling the group in Edmonton, and disrupting a firearms trafficking operation.
“Although there is more work to be done on this file, with more charges to be laid and investigative leads to examine, this is a major accomplishment in disrupting organized crime,” said Staff Sergeant Marco Antonio, EPS Organized Crime Branch. “This investigation is a shining example of the tenacity of the EDGE Section, and what can be accomplished when multiple agencies work together.”

In total, eighteen individuals were arrested on Sept. 23, 2025, including a full-patched Hells Angels member, and another person turned himself in the following day. Additional charges are anticipated. Intel sharing will also provide valuable grounds for any other One Order MC investigations in Canada and into the firearm origins.
“This coordinated effort demonstrates the level of enforcement that can be taken against the most sophisticated criminal organizations to improve public safety and I am extremely proud of the work done by my teams,” said S/Sgt Antonio.
The Edmonton Police Service’s (EPS) Guns and Gangs Strategy 2023-2025 is a plan to address firearm and gang violence in Edmonton. This plan considers the unique factors driving serious crime in the city, identifying key focus areas that require increased and sustained effort to reduce victimization and improve community safety.
