Armed robbers picked the wrong target when they raided an Australian bar where a biker gang was holding a meeting

Armed robbers picked the wrong target when they raided an Australian bar where a biker gang was holding a meeting.Machete wielding masked bandits burst into the Regents Park Sporting Club in Sydney and ordered people at the bar to lie on the floor.But the robbers failed to notice 50 members of the Southern Cross Cruiser Club enjoying a drink in the next room, reports the Sydney Morning Herald."Fifty of us jumped out of our seats and raced out to the main bar," said club president Jerry 'Jester' van Cornewal.Biker club founder Noel 'Bear' Mannix added the robbers appeared to be regretting the heist as soon as they saw the bikers.
"It was very hard to see the expression on their faces because of the balaclavas, but I imagine it was something along lines of 'Oh s***, what have we done here?' ," he said.One of the robbers charged through a locked glass door, leapt off a 16ft balcony and ran through a bowling green to escape.The other ran through an exit behind the bar but members of the gang ran around the back and caught up with him.
"He came out the door wielding what I thought was a tyre lever, but was actually a samurai sword. I raced in and tackled him to the ground, footy-style, onto the concrete," Mr van Cornewal said.They tied up the man and waited for police to arrive. Police soon also located the second robber nearby. A 20-year-old man and a 16-year-old were charged with attempted robbery.

Nguyen-Tran, known as Jackie Tran arrested at his mother's home Tuesday night for breaching curfew

At a detention review on Thursday, the IRB said that Tran will stay at the Calgary Remand Centre because he broke his release conditions and is considered a flight risk. The bonds posted for someone's release is forfeited to the Canadian government if release conditions are not met, according to the Canada Border Services Agency. The Calgary police and the CBSA supported keeping Tran in custody. Calgary gang investigators said previous attempts on Tran's life and his gang involvement created security risks for both him and the public if he was freed.
