Hells Angels in suspect's past: Now involved with Red Scorpions
Police found drugs and weapons in a search of a 26A Avenue residence in Aldergrove Thursday evening.

A Red Scorpions gang member wanted by police after a raid on his Aldergrove home last Thursday had connections with the Hells Angels.
Jason William Brown, 34, was among 18 members of the Hells Angels or associates arrested in 2005 in Vancouver and Kelowna. The two-year RCMP investigation was dubbed Project E-Pandora.
Brown was described in an RCMP news release at that time as an "associate" of the East End Hells Angels, which was planning to set up a chapter in Kelowna.
He was charged with two counts of conspiracy to produce/traffic methamphetamine and two counts of commission of an offence in association with a criminal organization.
Abbotsford Police released his name this week as one of two people wanted in connection with the Aldergrove raid in the 26900 block of 26 A Ave.
Abbotsford Police spokesman Ian MacDonald said Brown's background is indicative of the kind of people involved with gangs such as the Red Scorpions and the UN Gang.
Some will work within two gangs at once, while others will break ties with one to move on to another. This differs from the U.S., where allegiances are tied to one organization, MacDonald said.
"If you went to the wrong street corner, there is no forgiveness (in the States)," MacDonald said.
Brown and Terra Lynn George, 24, are each charged with two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking (one count each for cocaine and one each for methamphetamine), possession of a restricted weapon and possession of property obtained by crime.
Brown faces an additional charge of possession of a firearm while prohibited.
Abbotsford Police spokesman Ian MacDonald said the two have not yet been apprehended.
Nobody was home at the time of the bust, when police seized two kilograms of cocaine, one kilogram of meth, a 9-mm handgun, a loaded magazine, two bulletproof vests, Red Scorpions clothing, and about $12,000 cash.
Brown's criminal history dates back to 1998, when he was convicted of possession of a narcotic for the purpose of trafficking, according to provincial court records.
Since then, he has racked up numerous charges and convictions throughout the Lower Mainland, including in Surrey, Vancouver, Delta, Richmond, Port Coquitlam Victoria and New Westminster. These include driving while prohibited, "personation with intent to gain advantage" and obstructing a peace officer.
