Last local Hells Angel fined for swapping VIN numbers - St. Catharines Standard - Ontario, CA

Last local Hells Angel fined for swapping VIN numbers - St. Catharines Standard - Ontario, CA: "founding member of the Niagara Hells Angels — which ceased operating this year due to declining membership — was given a $2,000 fine Monday for swapping VIN numbers.
Timothy Panetta, 41, of Wainfleet, pleaded guilty to two counts of fraudulently concealing the true identity of two vehicles that were the property of his business, Advantage Auto Sales and Leasing in Thorold.
Another 10 charges were withdrawn by the Crown Monday.
Panetta, the last remaining core member of Niagara's Hells Angels chapter, had no previous criminal record.
Assistant Crown attorney Dave King said red flags were raised at Panetta's business in May 2007 when an inspector from the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council did a routine inspection.
That led to an investigation by the province's joint-forces auto theft team, led by the OPP, which executed a warrant at the Allanport Rd. property in September 2008.
Investigators found a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado with a VIN number that identified it as a vehicle damaged in a fire and issued with a certificate of salvage in Pennsylvania in 2006"
