Lawrence Ronald Amero (born 1977) is a Canadian outlaw biker and gangster affiliated with the Hells Angels and the Wolfpack Alliance.

Amero was born and grew up in Langley, British Columbia. He is of Portuguese descent. Amero's father worked as a longshoreman for the Port of Vancouver. At the Port of Vancouver, the British Columbia Maritime Employers' Association does not hire its workers, who are instead hired by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, with the Employers' Association being merely responsible for training and paying the wages of those workers selected by the union. The International Longshore & Warehouse workers union only hires workers who have been sponsored by a current worker, and in this way Amero was sponsored by his father to work as a longshoreman. As a teenager, he was bullied, which led him to become as journalist Jerry Langton described him "a steroid-fueled behemoth" as an adult. Amero's arms have been massively bulked up, causing him to have an ape-like gait as his arms cannot fall naturally by his side. Amero joined the White Rock chapter of the Hells Angels as a "hang-around" (the lowest level in an outlaw biker club) in 2002 and became a "full patch" member (the highest level in outlaw biker club) in 2005. In December 2002, Amero was found guilty of the possession of narcotics for the purpose of trafficking.

After becoming a "full patch" member, Amero was described as being one of the most powerful members of the White Rock chapter. He has a long record of being arrested, although not convicted on charges of drug trafficking and manufacturing. Amero continued to work as a longshoreman with the Port of Vancouver, despite his membership with the Hells Angels. The Port of Vancouver is controlled by the Hells Angels, who use the port as a conduit for drug smuggling. The port is used to smuggle cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin into Canada while also being used to smuggle cocaine and methamphetamine into Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia. Superintendent Mike Porteous of the Vancouver police stated in 2014: "Vancouver is an international hub for distribution to Southeast Asia and other countries across the water, where as you know the prices are significantly higher". Andy Smith, the president of the British Columbia Maritime Employers' Association, stated in May 2015 about the employment of Hells Angels at the port: "Yes, we are aware of who they are. They make no secret of it". Besides Amero, other Hells Angels working at the port included Vince Brienza, Norm Krogstad, John Bryce, and Gino Zumpano.

A report by Transport Canada in April 2017 stated that Port of Vancouver is corrupt as the reported concluded: "To facilitate their smuggling activities, OCGs [organized crime groups] are involved in the corruption of port workers, and have embedded members and associates within port facilities by way of legitimate employment... That it is certain that organized crime groups and transnational criminal organizations will continue to exploit vulnerabilities at B.C.’s marine ports to facilitate smuggling both into and out of Canada (emphasis in the original)". Peter Edwards, the crime correspondent of The Toronto Star newspaper, singled out Amero as one of the more notable Hells Angels working at the Port of Vancouver.

Although Amero was a card-carrying member of local 502 of the International Longshore & Warehouse workers union, he was more seen aboard his speedboat Steroids & Silicone than working the docks. Amero seemed to regard his employment as a longshoreman as a part-time job. Canadian journalist Peter Edwards and the Mexican journalist Luis Nájera wrote that Amero "...had the puffed-up muscles of a bodybuilder and carried himself with the casual chic of a Hollywood producer". Amero enjoyed seeking attention by wearing expensive clothing, watches and jewelry. There was a feeling within the White Rock chapter that Amero was too flashy and flamboyant as he attracted too much attention with his ostentatious displays of wealth. Amero owns a house worth $1.13 million Canadian dollars in Surrey and leased three automobiles with his girlfriend, Sarah Trebbe.

Amero's interests were not limited to the Lower Mainland as he frequently travelled across Canada. Amero was the leader of the younger faction of the Hells Angels who were more open to working with other groups. On March 3, 2009, Amero's girlfriend, Sarah Trebble, was charged with being in an automobile where she knew there was a weapon concerning a shooting incident in a strip club parking lot on February 15, 2009. The others in the vehicle were Barzan Tilli-Choli, Aram Ali, and Nicola Cotrell who were charged with the attempted murder of Tyler Willock of the Red Scorpions. Trebbe who works as a realtor in the Lower Mainland was acquitted of the firearms charges on January 27, 2011.

Brad Stephen, a retired officer with the Vancouver police department and an outlaw biker specialist, stated in 2017: "Amero is a formidable member within the Hells Angels and within the underworld in general. He has managed to create alliances with different crime groups and been extremely successful and has made a lot of money in the drug trafficking business."

Amero together with Jonathan Bacon of the Red Scorpions along with Randy Naicker and James Riach of the Independent Soldiers were the leaders of the Wolfpack Alliance. Edwards and Nájera wrote that the Wolfpack Alliance was "...a loosely allied and multi-ethnic group of mostly Millennial-aged gangsters who operated across the country". Amero was especially close to Bacon, whom he described as his best friend. Bacon was often seen cruising Burrard Inlet with Amero on the latter's speedboat, Steroids & Silicone. The Wolfpack Alliance, which Amero was the leader of, was a "side project" for him, which are allowed for Hells Angels provided that other members of the chapter are aware of the project and are given a chance to participate. In 2012, Amero left the White Rock chapter to found a new chapter in Langley which he called the West Point chapter, a name that he picked only because it sounded "cool" and had no actual meaning. Amero in common with the other members of the Wolfpack used encrypted texts on the Pretty Good Privacy system to communicate. The Wolfpack worked as distributors of cocaine from the Sinaloa Cartel of Mexico, whose leader was Joaquín Guzmán, better known by his moniker El Chapo ("the shorty").
