New Zealand - Police will monitor a weekend motorcyle ride organised by a breakaway chapter of notorious biker gang Hells Angels.
The newly-formed Hells Angels Nomads chapter has invited members of the public to "ride with the Angels" in Auckland on Saturday, asking non-members to make a $20 donation to the Red Cross to take part.
The Nomads chapter reportedly formed last year when senior members of the Auckland and Whanganui chapters created the new group after the arrival of a rival gang, the Rebels, from Australia.
The Nomads were linked to gang tensions and a series of shootings in Australia recently.
Police spokesman Inspector Gary Allcock confirmed there would be a police presence at the ride and warned gang members and participants to behave.
"It's important members of the public and gang members understand the law applies equally to everyone.
"We won't tolerate offending by people who style themselves as gang members or are out to break the law."
Waitemata road policing manager, Superintendent John Kelly, said the event would be policed by officers on motorbikes and in cars.
"It's a public ride so there's the traffic stuff as well as any disorder or problems that arise as a result."
