DOZENS of members of the Bandidos bikie gang will be in Darwin tonight for the official opening of the outlaw group’s new Top End clubhouse.
The formal establishment of a Darwin chapter of the Bandidos has sparked fears of a turf war with other groups, including the Rebels.
Police are also concerned the celebrations could turn violent if the Bandidos’ party extends beyond its Winnellie clubhouse and into the city’s nightclub strip on Mitchell St.
Gang rules dictate a “one in all in” mentality if rival bikies cross paths.
The official opening comes a year after the NT News revealed the Bandidos intentions to start a Darwin chapter.
The gang boasts only a handful of Top End members and the travelling bikies are expected to leave the Top End once the party is over.
Bandidos members wearing the gang’s trademark logo were moving into the new clubhouse yesterday, in preparation for the unveiling.
