Gangster Moll Emma Lavery

Store assistant Emma Lavery, 24, earned as little as £7k a year but wore designer clothes, drove a BMW, and enjoyed holidays to Barcelona, Rome and Mexico while helping her boyfriend run a cocaine empire. She had the latest designer footwear, carried a Gucci handbag and moved into a luxury condo with Adam Hussain after he set up a drugs racket in which he ran a team of street dealers.

In a pair of raids cops lassoed £115,000 in cash spread over their bed bundled into £1,000 wads. Cops seized designer gear including a Rose Gold Rolex watch valued at £28,850, a pair of Gucci Tiger pumps worth £405, Valentino camo flip flops worth £570 and a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes worth £645. Bolton Crown Court sentenced Hussain to 6 years and Lavery, who has an eight month old daughter by him, to 16 months jail suspended for two years.

Outlaws boss Bruce 'Monster' Sartwell pleads guilty - 27 months in slammer

Bruce 'Monster' Sartwell, 48, entered a guilty plea in Boston to a sole count of possession of an unregistered firearm. According to cops the Outlaws were locked in a “violent feud” with the Hells Angels. Sartwell is a convicted felon with an arrest record dating back to 1987.

Sartwell is barred from possessing firearms.

A search of Sartwell’s home resulted in the recovery of an AR-15 style ‘ghost gun’ — a firearm without a serial number. Sartwell's lawyers said “he is not a ‘serious’ risk of flight or a danger to the community simply because he happens to be the Regional President of the Outlaws and or goes by the nickname ‘Monster.’

Gun making tools were also seized.

HA Harry Lainas whacked - update

Harry Lainas

Senior Ontario Hells Angel Harry Lainas, 47, was shot to death in the parking garage of an apartment building on Danforth Avenue on Feb 11. Lainas was a full patch with the Simcoe South charter. He was formerly with the Keswick Hells Angels. Lainas narrowly escaped the same fate two years ago in the same area while collecting illegal gambling debts.

Lainas was part of a ring that impersonated police while committing a long string of GTA armed robberies in 2008. Project Betrayal ended with 198 criminal charges laid against 25 people. That bust centred around career thug Dobroslav (Bobby) Manchev. He used a restaurant on Danforth as his "office". Manchev was whacked near the Eglinton Town Centre last May. There have been no arrests in the killing of Lainas.
