Gold Coast Bandidos bikie gang bulking up for gang turf war by bringing in members from New South Wales A member of the Bandidos MC club. SOME of Sydney's toughest bikies are spearheading the latest gang turf war that is terrifying holidaymakers and locals on the Gold Coast. Senior police sources said that Bandido enforcers from Sydney were flown in to boost numbers for a brawl with the Finks outside a family tapas bar on Friday night as the outlaw motorcycle gangs fight for control of the Gold Coast's multi-million dollar drug trade. An extra 50 additional police hit the streets on the Gold Coast yesterday as they struggle to take back the territory from the bikies who this week taunted the cops, telling them: "We run this town." Bikies clash at smoothie shop Tourism operators are putting pressure on the Queensland government to clamp down because they fear NSW families are likely to be turned off the city as place to holiday at Christmas and Easter. Queensland Tourism Industry Council chairman Shane O'Reilly fears the events, which started with Friday's bikie brawl in Broadbeach, would tarnish the city's brand in the long term. ATTACK: New bikie laws fast tracked It comes as local gangs look south of the border for brawn and brains to attract local members. Former Parramatta-based Bandido national sergeant-at-arms John "Brownie" Fahey, 36, has been recruited by the fledgling Gold Coast Hells Angels chapter to draw new recruits. MEGA GANG: Bikies join forces to create international ring He is currently a probationary member and his full membership is being rushed through as the Hells Angels scramble to match the news that the Finks are planning to patch-over their whole group to the international powerhouse Mongols outlaw motor cycle gang. The Mongols and Hells Angels are sworn enemies. Meanwhile Peter Sidirourgos, a convicted amphetamine manufacturer who has a Hells Angel tattoo on his neck, is said to be the leader of a group of 16 bikies from Sydney, mainly of Middle Eastern descent, who are flexing their muscle with the new chapter. Bikie leader killed in workplace execution Sidirourgos set the chapter up late last year with Zeljko "Steve" Mitrovic, 45, who was shot dead in Sydney in January at his Dynamic Transport business at Wetherill Park. NSW Assistant Commissioner Mark Jenkins said he did not think that the recent successful crackdown on bikies in Sydney was behind their move north of the border. "Outlaw motorcycle gangs are gong to go anywhere that they can make a profit," assistant commissioner Jenkins, head of the state crime command, said. Senior Queensland police sources said that Sydney bikie gangs are also bankrolling the local Rebels and Nomads chapters to ensure they maintain a presence on the Glitter Strip. Sydney Rebels heavy Ricky Anthony Ciano has extensive interests on the Gold Coast where he is regularly seen partying. He is believed to be linked to the Blush nightclub in the heart of Surfers Paradise and in January, he was at the centre of a public brawl on the Gold Coast between the Rebels and the Bandidos. He was never charged over the incident. Police believe the gunman who shot a 54-year-old man in a road rage incident outside the old Gold Coast hospital in Southport last week was travelling with a group of Sydney Comanchero who were staying in a beachside resort. However as the Gold Coast battles an escalating bikie war, its premier cop Graham Rynders is AWOL. The assistant commissioner went on holiday hours before outlaw bikie gang violence erupted at Broadbeach where the "lynch mob" of 60 Bandidos, boosted by their Sydney brothers, terrorised customers at Aura Tapas and Loungebar. He is said to be on a two-week shooting trip.
