Police in eastern Ontario say they are aware of possible retaliatory violencebetween two notorious motorcycle gangs.
Following the parking lot brawl, investigators say the Loners’ clubhouse in Brockville, Ont., located an hour drive west of Cornwall, burned to the ground a day later. Police suspect arson.
Maxwell, of Cornwall police, said the brawl that took place last weekend should be a reminder to the public not to engage with members of motorcycle gangs or wear gang-related paraphernalia.Article content “This power struggle could be motivated by the eastward expansion of the Loners who were founded in Woodbridge in the York Region in 1979,” said Antonio Nicaso, a professor at Queen’s University who has written 30 books on mafia and mafia-type organizations.
The clubs claim that 99 per cent of their members are law-abiding riders who claim to do a lot of charity work, Nicaso said. But, he said, one per cent are typically known to be outlaws.Nicaso said motorcycle club members engaging in criminal activity typically operate outside large cities.
