Members of
the Rebels bikie gang are converging on Mildura in Victoria ahead of
a national run due to start on Friday, South Australian police say.
Several hundred members of the gang
are expected to attend the event.
Police in South Australia said
officers from the Crime Gangs Task Force were monitoring a convoy of
Rebels currently heading through SA, including a number travelling
to Mildura from Western Australia.
A spokesman said a 50-year-old
Rebels member from WA had already been reported for speeding near
Kimba, on Eyre Peninsula.
He said the rider was detected
travelling at 191km/h in a 110km/h zone and immediately lost his
licence for six months and had his Harley Davidson impounded for 28
days.
Detective Inspector Steve Taylor
said SA police would continue to manage large numbers of outlaw
bikies on the state's roads.
'Unless we manage and control them
they have a complete and utter disregard for the law and other road
users,' he said.
