The Wire

NSW police are moving to criminalise their first motorcycle group under new legislation. The new laws were brought in after a deadly bikie brawl at Sydney Airport in March last year. A fight broke out between the Hell’s Angels motorcycle club and a rival gang– the Comencheros. The Hell’s Angels have been named as the first group to be investigated as a “criminal organisation” and possibly shut-down. But the club, which has a history of violence and criminal activity, is being shown support even from rival motorcycle groups.
