THE Hells Angels bikie gang has been targeted as the state's public enemy No. 1

A thick dossier containing details of alleged crimes and secret criminal intelligence was lodged with the NSW Supreme Court yesterday.

Police are seeking to have the gang the first outlawed under the state's get-tough bikie laws created more than a year ago.

It is not the state's biggest bikie gang - that is the Rebels - and 10 per cent of the Hells Angels' 50 members are already in jail.

Once a club is proscribed, members can be subjected to "control orders" and cannot wear their gang colours or associate with each other. They can be banned from certain jobs including motor vehicle repairing.

Their assets can be seized and it is up to the gang and members to prove they were lawfully acquired.
But the United Motorcycle Club NSW, formed in reaction to the Government clampdown, yesterday threw its support behind the Hells Angels.

Police announced yesterday the ''Hells Angels Motorcycle Club in NSW'', one of the state's smaller clubs, would be their first target. Police said they would allege its 45 to 50 members had committed crimes from murder to drug trafficking.

But while police filed about 30 folders of intelligence about members' activities in the Supreme Court yesterday, they said much of the information would remain unknown to the public.

The club - representing about 3 per cent of NSW bikies - was selected because police believed they had enough information to succeed with the application.
