The international vest-wearing gang Outlaws MC are seeking foothold in Finland, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) told the news agency STT.
According to the NBI, a support group of the Outlaws gang operating in Lappeenranta are striving to be the first Finnish subsection of the Outlaws.
A gang named Fifteen MC South-Karelia have been known to the Bureau since spring 2012. Internationally, the Outlaws MC are rivals to the Hell’s Angels. The Hell’s Angels hold a stable position in Finland and Southern Karelia.
According to the local police force of Lappeenranta, windows of a building neighbouring the motorcycle group Fifteen MC’s premises were broken on Monday possibly by a rival gang. The police are not aware of the identity of those who broke the windows.
