WA police vow to outnumber bikies at funeral of slain Rebels boss Nick Martin
Hundreds of police officers will escort a procession of bikies as they ride to the funeral service of assassinated former Rebels boss Nick Martin, vowing the community has nothing to fear from the outlaws.
Key points:
- WA police expect up to 200 bikers to attend the funeral
- The public has been urged to avoid Scarborough Beach Road between 10:00am and 2:00pm
- Police said the bolstered ranks of officers will not affect services elsewhere
It will be one of the biggest gatherings of bikies in recent times, but police said they would outnumber them at all times.
“Our aim is to make sure everyone goes home safe,” Assistant Commissioner Brad Royce said.
Mr Martin was shot dead while watching a drag racing event at the Kwinana Motorplex on December 12.
