Zero tolerance for gangs in Nelson Bays

1 min read

 

Nelson Bays Police say outlaw motorcycle gang members coming to Nelson this weekend for the Hell’s Angels poker run will be closely monitored to ensure they abide by the law.

Nelson Bays Area Commander Inspector Mat Arnold-Kelly said Police would have an extra focus on road safety and maintaining public order.

“We want to send a clear message to gangs that the people of Nelson will not tolerate anti-social behaviour and drugs in our community. Gangs are the main driver of methamphetamine trade in this country and we do not want that here. I have seen first-hand the devastation methamphetamine wreaks on people’s lives and we all have to commit to disrupting this destructive drug trade.”

Inspector Arnold-Kelly said people could expect to see a highly visible Police presence throughout the weekend.
