gang of drug dealing bikers from Milford Haven and Neyland made a minimum £40,000 selling heroin and cocaine.

The figure will rise when experts have worked out how much gang leader Michael Barnes made out of dealing in Class A drugs.

Barnes, aged 46, of Neyland Heights, Neyland, Michael Orford, aged 44, of Pier Road, Milford Haven, Christopher James Morrissey, aged 20, of St Annes Road, Milford Haven, and Steven Morris and Dane Gosling, from Aberdare, were due at Swansea crown court for a proceeds of crime hearing.

Orford, Gosling and Morrisey refused to leave their prison cells and attend the hearing on Friday, May 13th.

Ian Wright, prosecuting, said some calculations had been made and agreed with defence lawyers - Morris had made £23,387, Morrisey £3,000 and Gosling £8,672.

They and other members of the west Wales chapter of The Outlaws - rivals to the Hell's Angels - have already forfeited more than £7,500 in cash and when the police swooped they confiscated £130,000 worth of drugs, vehicles and property.

The haul included 45g of cocaine, two kilogramme of cannabis and one kilogramme of amphetamine.

Judge Keith Thomas ruled that Morris was broke and ordered him to pay a nominal £5. Gosling owned a car and was told to pay £1,875.

More orders will be made at future hearings.

Barnes is serving a five year sentence, Orford four and a half years and Morrissey one year.

They were all convicted of conspiring to supply class A and B drugs.

The gang, in total, received sentences totaling more than 28 years.

club sergeant-at-arms Julian Fletcher Ivory took Stolzenberg to Minmi Cemetery and beat him so badly he thought he was going to die.

A SENIOR Rebels bikie has admitted taking a prospective member to a remote Hunter cemetery at gunpoint before bashing him so badly he received fractures to his face, eye socket, cheekbone and several ribs and severe cuts to his head that needed extensive stitching.
The victim, Greg Stolzenberg, had wanted to join the Rebels bikie gang’s Newcastle chapter when he was ordered to attend its Wickham clubhouse in May last year.

Court papers alleged Stolzenberg had attended a Raymond Terrace tattoo parlour days earlier and collected $200 in protection money on behalf on some Rebels before other gang members told the shop owner not to give any more money to the prospective member.

After being ordered to the clubhouse, Stolzenberg was told to get a sawn-off shotgun he had stashed at home before being told they were going to do a drug rip-off.

Instead, club sergeant-at-arms Julian Fletcher Ivory took Stolzenberg to Minmi Cemetery and beat him so badly he thought he was going to die.

Ivory, whose papers had his address listed as the clubhouse in Throsby Street, Wickham, pleaded guilty yesterday to wounding a person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

He also pleaded guilty to two counts of demanding money by force in company with intent to steal, relating to extorting money from the owner of the Raymond Terrace tattoo parlour.

Ivory will be sentenced in Newcastle District Court at a later date.

Court papers alleged some Rebels members had threatened other Hunter tattoo shop owners into handing over money for protection.

Stolzenberg told police he had got out of the car at Minmi Cemetery before Ivory smashed him across the legs with the sawn-off shotgun.

Several others allegedly came in on the beating.

‘‘To tell you the truth, I don’t know how I got out of there alive,’’ he told police.

police in Rock Hill are investigating after woman says her boyfriend was stabbed at a biker bar by a member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club.

police in Rock Hill are investigating after woman says her boyfriend was stabbed at a biker bar by a member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club.

According to a Rock Hill police report, officers were called to the Carolinas Medical Center location in Steele Creek after 58-year-old Jim Moye came to the emergency room with a stab wound to his abdomen.

When questioned by the security staff at the hospital, Moye would only say that "it was a motorcycle thing," the report states. Moye's girlfriend, 53-year-old Linda Mlecsko, told the security officer that the pair was at the Wall-Bangers social Club located at 1474 East Main Street in Rock Hill around 11 p.m. Saturday night when Moye was stabbed.

Mlecsko told the security guard that she could identify the man who stabbed Moye and that he was a "Hells Angel Gang Member," the report states.

The security guard told officers that Moye came into the emergency room with a gun, but Mlecsko took it back outside before the guard could retrieve it.

According to the report, Moye was transferred to the main branch of Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte because of the severity of his injuries.

Alleged Hells Angel pleads not guilty to gun charge

36-year-old Gilroy man pleaded not guilty today to charges that he was carrying a loaded Beretta handgun not registered to him, plus an allegation that he is an active member of the Hells Angels, prosecutors said.
The motorcycle group has been deemed an illegal street gang.
Cesar Villagrana crashed his motorcycle in Aptos on March 17 and his "gear spread across the road," leading to the discovery of the gun, prosecutor Charlie Baum said.
Villagrana was injured in the crash, but appears to have recovered. A tall, solidly built man, he was in court for the hearing. He politely declined comment.
His attorney, Michael Hingle of San Jose, also declined comment, saying it would be inappropriate to do so at this early stage in the proceedings.
Before the hearing, Baum said, "I just doesn't like gangsters with guns."
Villagrana's preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 13.

51-year-old Leif Ivar Kristiansen was sentenced to four years and nine months in prison for drugs offences, aggravated robbery, as well as threatening behavior towards competitors in the tattoo/piercing industry

51-year-old Leif Ivar Kristiansen was sentenced to four years and nine months in prison for drugs offences, aggravated robbery, as well as threatening behavior towards competitors in the tattoo/piercing industry, NRK reports.
Oslo police arrested the alleged gang leader in March following major raids on three tattoo shops in properties in Lillehammer, Trondheim, and Tromsø.
During the trial, one of co-defendants, a 32-year-old father-of-three who cooperated with police, testified he felt threatened following a visit to his partner by two of Mr Kristiansen’s associates, subsequently filing charges with police. He was sentenced to 420 hours community service and 60 days in jail.
Three other individuals were also given prison terms, and Mr Kristiansen was ordered to pay a total of 275,000 kroner compensation.
Defending counsel Morten Furuholmen told Addresseavisen “it is an improper verdict and one that will not seem fair in retrospect.”
“I will be appealing against everything possible,” said the alleged gang leader following the verdict.
