The Supreme court has implemented strict conditions on two bikie gangs including rules that restrict them travelling after 9pm in a vehicle and talking to other members of their groups

The tough orders, were handed down today in the Supreme Court to protect the public and put a stop to the violence. 

The conflict between the rival groups has escalated since 2016 and has involved assaults, firebombings, drive-by shootings and attacks on family members. 

Membership in the two groups has risen in 2018 as they battle for supremacy in the region. 

 

Gangs Squad boss Detective Superintendent Deb Wallace said she welcomed the new measures as police are tasked with the difficult job of ending the violence.

'I'm very pleased with the outcome of thee proceedings,' she said outside court.  

At the beginning of April, 31 properties between Muswellbrook and Newcastle were targeted in a series of police raids against the alleged gang members.
