In the past week the media have saturated Melbourne's bike war story.
Beginning with the attempted murder of apparent Bandidio Sargent at Arms Toby Mitchell the media have linked or rumored the following
the arrest of a drugs group across Melbourne Northern suburbs culminating in 5 arrests that media outlets have linked to the bikie war.
Rumors that a New Zealand gang new on the scene are recruiting in Melbourne's west.
A split between the Mitchell led faction of the Bandido's and The Lebanese members who now align themselves with the Hells Angels.
Satan's Soldiers clubhouse in Bendigo appears to have been deliberately torched and damaged. ( As far as I can tell Satan's soldiers is a club for wannabe hells angels)
Police raiding the Bandido's Brunswick base taking a couple of shot guns, some Hells Angels or connections been arrested for weapons and stolen vehicles
A shooting at Epping this morning that damaged an unoccupied car.
Culminating today so far in a Finks ride up the Hume being described as a massive police operation on Ch 9 tonight despite the fact they mentioned no arrests or claims of criminal behavior. In other words a group of blokes taking a Saturday afternoon bike ride.
So the question is, do we have an escalation in Melbourne's bike war, The media jumping at shadows, handbags at forty paces or the way it's always been and now's the time for good story.
