Hey there, time traveller!

Manitoba Justice has taken control of a well-known Hells Angels clubhouse after the province obtained a court order allowing the property to be seized.
The raid of the Scotia Street property began earlier this morning and was triggered by an interim court order filed by Manitoba Justice.
The clubhouse located on 2679 Scotia St. has allegedly been used as a site to plan and carry out criminal activity. That makes it liable for forfeiture under the Criminal Property Forfeiture Act.
Under the act, proceeds from unlawful acts and property used in an unlawful acts may be forfeited to the government by order of the court. Proceeds from the sale of forfeited property are placed in a fund to support activities such as: compensating victims of criminal activity, and promoting safer communities by funding programs that reduce or prevent crime.
Property ordered forfeited by a court can be sold, donated or destroyed.
A total of 35 statements of claim have been filed since the legislation was enacted.
Claims involving cash, vehicles and houses collectively valued at more than $9 million are currently being pursued.
