Police braced for mayhem as bikers fall out

Article Abstract:

There are fears that a feud between biker gangs the Hell's Angels and the Outcasts could bring serious violence in the UK. The National Criminal Intelligence Service has warned 37 police forces that biker gangs may use automatic weapons and explosives. The Hell's Angels gang has 230 members and prospects in 14 chapters, but is now facing growing competition from the Outcasts, which has 200 members. Police fear that forthcoming public motorcycle shows could be used to undertake further attacks.
