Redd Alert (RA) are an indigenous Canadian criminal gang which operates as both a prison gang and a street gang.[1]
Redd Alert was established in 1999 by Robert Lee Wagner along with other First Nations inmates of Cree, Anishinaabe, and Métis origin as an alternative to joining two of the other Aboriginal gangs within the Alberta prison system: the Indian Posse and the Manitoba Warriors. Details on their origin are unclear but some reports say they originated as an offshoot of the Edmonton Northside Boys. In all actuality they started out as a HipHop Crew whose main rapper was Shawn Bénard [2]
Redd Alert is composed mainly of Indigenous youth, many of whom come from rough, displaced backgrounds such as dysfunctional households and juvenile detention. Redd Alert maintain an alliance with the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, for whom they reportedly sell drugs. They are also allies with the White Boy Posse, a neo-Nazi criminal organization that operates throughout the Canadian West. Redd Alert are also affiliated with the Independent Soldiers, another street gang within Canada's Western provinces.[3]
