The Bikie Wars - Brothers in Arms TV mini series based on the 1984 firearm battle between rival Australian motorcycle gangs the Comancheros and Bandidos will screen on Aussie TV this year.
The series tells the true story of the Milperra massacre in Sydney, when the Bandidos and the Comancheros motorcycle clubs went to war on Father's Day, Sunday 2 Sept 1984. The massacre had its beginnings after a group of Comancheros broke away and formed the first Bandidos Motorcycle Club chapter in Australia. This resulted in intense rivalry between the two chapters.
At a public swap meet at the Viking Hotel in Milperra, a brief but violent battle ensued with seven people shot dead, including a 14 year old innocent bystander. A further 28 people were wounded with 20 requiring hospitalisation.
