Police discuss motorcycle club activity on Delmarva

At least nine deaths and 170 arrests were the immediate result of a fight among rival biker gangs in Waco, Texas on Sunday.

As police there continue to investigate, 47 ABC contacted police on Delmarva about local biker gang activity. There are motorcycle clubs on the Eastern Shore; however that does not mean that they are all involved in criminal activity.

The Ocean City Police Department’s Intel Unit tells us the groups involved in Waco do not have a presence east of the Mississippi River.

The Ocean City Intel Unit says they have a great partnership with area agencies and work very closely together to plan for motorcycle rallies such as Delmarva Bike Week and OC BikeFest. Those events both draw thousands of bikers from all over the country. 

In a statement released to 47 ABC the Ocean City Police Department’s Intel Unit says, “The Ocean City Police Department will continue to monitor the ongoing investigation in order to maintain the level of safety for our visitors and residents during future motorcycle rallies.”  

Delmarva Bike Week is set for this September.
