Metro Vancouver — Pokemon Go enthusiasts wandering around Coquitlam looking for significant sites in the hit game may find themselves at a surprising location.

The Hells Angels clubhouse, at 1041 Burnette Ave., shows up as a designated gym, meaning Pokemon Go players are expected to congregate there for battles with rival players.

Postmedia was tipped to the bizarre gym location by a Pokemon player Friday. Sure enough, a visit to Coquitlam with the Pokemon Go application opened showed the special icon for a gym right on the biker clubhouse.

The spokesman for B.C.’s anti-gang agency said Friday that it’s totally inappropriate for the popular gaming application to send people to the clubhouse of the notorious biker gang.

“We think it’s highly inappropriate that this game would include a location that attracts all ages — including children — to the location of a gang that is not only is as well known as the Hells Angels is, but includes people who are involved in the highest levels of organized crime, including violent crime,” said Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton, of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit.
