New Zealand - The public should not be intimidated by a gang presence in Nelson this weekend as members of the Hells Angels arrive in the region today, police say.
About 30 gang members were due to arrive in Nelson this afternoon from Wellington for a bike run marking the anniversary of the first public outing last year in Nelson of patched members of the Red Devils, a front gang for the Hells Angels.
Between 20 and 30 police officers, including members of the armed offenders squad, were seen checking gang members' bikes at the Wellington ferry terminal this morning, according to a Dominion Post reporter.
The event is due to go ahead despite all the venues and the charity involved pulling their support at the last minute.
Police said they would be out in force.
