With a Sons of Anarchy-inspired front page, The Daily Telegraph in Sydney, Australia, is reporting that police have launched a large-scale crackdown on biker gangs.
In the process, club houses have been shuttered and membership numbers have been reduced, costing the gangs millions of dollars in lost income from drug trafficking, extortion, gun running and money laundering, while driving some of the gangs underground. The financial setback has also led to some of the gangs setting against each other in desperate turf wars.
