Australia - OUTLAW motorcycle gangs are said to be looking north for new turf following a crackdown on gangs in south-east Queensland.
Sources close to bikie gangs have told The Townsville Bulletin the resources boom may also lead to an influx of gang members in Townsville, as bikies move north to capitalise on increased work opportunities.
Townsville is already home to local chapters of the Rebels and Odin's Warriors. Members of the Renegades have recently arrived in Townsville but it is unknown if they plan to establish a clubhouse.
Turf wars have been simmering below the surface in Townsville for some time, with occasional flare-ups when new groups arrive in town.
A year ago, an attempt by Rock Machine to establish themselves in Townsville was met with opposition. The notoriously violent gang was forced out of Townsville after a reported brawl in the car park of Irish Finnegan's in Condon.
