Police monitored outlaw bikie gangs during a ride in the North-West last weekend
Tasmania Police undertook activities to monitor members
of an outlaw motorcycle club from Melbourne who took part in a ride in
the North-West at the weekend.
Deputy Commissioner Scott Tilyard said
about 20 “Foolish Few” members arrived in Devonport on the Spirit of
Tasmania ferry.
Deputy Commissioner Tilyard said no arrests were made.
A large contingent of Outlaws
Motorcycle Club members and the Foolish Few members rode in a convoy on
the Bass Highway between Burnie and Devonport. The mass of bikies was an
intimidating sight and sound as the bikies rode several abreast at
times.
“The community can be assured that police will not tolerate criminal or anti-social behaviour and the activities of the OMCG members while they are in our state will be monitored and police will respond to any issues that may arise,” Deputy Commissioner Tilyard said. He rejected speculation the Bandidos had established a clubhouse at Shearwater, or anywhere else in Tasmania.
