Police out in force for Rebels MC National Meeting
CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA (October 21, 2016) Police from the ACT's outlaw motorcycle group and the AFP's
National Anti-gang Squad will be out in very large numbers this weekend
monitoring the Rebels MC annual meeting in Canberra for any illegal activity.
A series of small groups of Rebels club members rolled into
Fyshwick on Friday ahead of their national meeting at their Wollongong Street
club house on Saturday.
While ACT Police would not say how many officers would be on
the streets for the meeting, members of the Taskforce Nemesis, traffic, general
duties and specialist response teams were given a watching brief for the
weekend.

intimidating, anti-social or illegal activity, and ensuring Rebels members were
compliant with road transport laws.
She said police were not expecting any disruptions to
traffic over the weekend, but people may see small groups of Rebels
"riding around the Capital over the weekend".
