Recent motorcycle gang activity has local law enforcement speaking up.

The outlaw motorcycle gang, Sons of Silence has been in Fargo for some time, but more may be on their way.

The American Motorcycle Association reports that 99 percent of motorcyclists are law abiding citizens, but then there’s the 1 percent like those in the shoot–out in Waco Texas this month that are deviant.

It’s one way to spot out a Sons of Silence member. Fargo’s law enforcement has run–ins with this group that aren’t major but the Cass County Detective says these gangs are capable of anything.

Cass County Detective Joe Gress said,”Theft to running an illegal business, prostitution, embezzlement, right up through rape, attempted murder, murder.

To keep tragedies like this from happening, police say there are key factors to look for in your neighborhood.

The number of bikes and any colors associated with them.

There may also be what is called a crash truck that travels in front or behind that includes money, weapons and space for broken bikes. But officials say don’t take the situation into your own hands.

“It might be something that’s nothing. Let use come out and deal with it, Don’t take justice into your own hands,” said Gress.

A recent Craigslist article shows a Fargo police officer on a kid’s bike. The writer vulgarly attempts to belittle the PD and says Hells Angels is coming. Some people believe they’re underestimating the PD.

Molly Kalein said, “Just because you see them playing basketball and touching base with the community doesn’t mean they don’t know what they’re doing in the community and they’re not going to be able to handle things when the time is right.”

Detective Gress says he doesn’t want to worry anyone but wants to provide knowledge to the public. Because knowledge is power.
