How it played out

It began with a roar before dawn.

At exactly 6:45 a.m. yesterday, a flash grenade exploded at a west Mountain home on Duncairn Crescent.

Across the city, simultaneous raids were launched at five other properties targeting area members and associates of the Hells Angels. It was the culmination of what police are calling Project Manchester.

THE RAIDS

Nine simultaneous raids in Hamilton, Cambridge and Nanticoke. Six of those raids were in Hamilton -- one at the notorious biker clubhouse at Lottridge and Biggar.

SEIZED

* Weapons, street drugs worth $215,000, vehicles and motorcycles.

* Property worth an estimated $875,000 -- one home and three commercial properties.

ARRESTED

Seven alleged Hells Angels members and associates, five in Hamilton.
