Canada - TWO more accused gang members are in custody today, as arrests under the sweeping anti-biker bust called Project Divide continue.
On Friday, Winnipeg police and RCMP with the Manitoba Integrated Organized Crime Task Force arrested two Hells Angels members, Shane Edward Kirton and Anthony James McLennan.

The pair is charged with possessing property obtained by crime.

They also face charges of participating in a criminal organization by collecting money and laundering the proceeds of crime.

The charges relate to incidents between November 2008 and December 2009.

In total, 35 people have been arrested under Project Divide.

Last winter, police arrested 33 people after recruiting a former gang associate to serve as an informant.

Those arrested through Project Divide include Hells Angel Sean Wolfe.

To date, 16 of the accused have pleaded guilty to their charges.
