City police say that while the Bandidos biker gang haven't re-established themselves in Edmonton, they'll be watching to see if their re-emergence in Canada will bring them out West again.
"There's no solid information to indicate any developments here, but it's certainly on the radar screen. Our members are certainly aware of the developments out East," said police spokesman Dean Parthenis, referring to recent reports the gang is moving to set up in Ontario again.
The reports come just a few months after the gang announced it was shutting down, a development experts chalked up to the April 2006 massacre of eight Bandidos members in Ontario as well as its status as the underdogs to the more powerful Hells Angels.
On its website, a statement from the Bandidos says the decision to close was "the wrong way to go" and that the club is now reviving its chapters.
"They are just not willing to give it up and they've reopened the Bandidos back up in Canada again," a Bandidos associate told Sun Media recently
