Ten Hell’s Angels members have been hit with serious charges following a brutal brawl in Findon, West Sussex. The violent chaos erupted on Findon Road last October when they clashed with a rival biker gang.
Chaos on Findon Road
The trouble broke out on 8 October 2022, sparking a major police investigation. The raucous mob fight involved violent disorder, burglary, theft, and attempts to grievously harm others.
Detective Inspector Andy Ricks said:
“Officers responded to serious incidents involving reports of violent disorder. Following an investigation by CID colleagues, ten men have been charged and have appeared in court in connection with the incidents. Serious violence and disorder has no place in our communities.”
