PORT CHARLOTTE -- For Hog aficionados, come
Labor Day, Charlotte County might be the closest place to heaven. For years, Charlotte's Harley-Davidson fanatics have had to schlep to Rossiter's Harley dealership in Sarasota or to Fort Myers to get to an authorized dealer.

Name of Product: Heavy Duty Portable Industrial Cord Reel AMSTERDAM — Two Hells Angels gang members facing triple murder charges were remanded in custody for an extra 10 days when they appeared in a secret court hearing on Thursday. The public prosecution has accused the 43 and 37-year-old men of shooting and killing three members of their own motorcycle gang last month and kidnapping two members of the Antillean motorcycle gang, Caribbean Brothers. One of the suspects is the vice-president and present leader of the Nomads, J. S., Dutch associated press ANP reported. The murder victims were members of the De Nomads motorcycle gang in Oirsbeek. Their gunshot-riddled bodies were found in a stream in the southern Dutch city of Echt on 13 February. The murder and the kidnapping are reportedly connected to a conflict over the theft of 293kg of cocaine with an estimated street value of EUR 7 million. Murder victims, De Nomads president Paul de Vries, 54, Cor Peijnenburg, 33, and Serge Wagenaar, 34, and a fourth man are reportedly suspected by police to have stolen the drugs from a group of Colombians. The Colombians allegedly confronted the Hells Angels gang about the theft, prompting a conflict within the gang about how to solve the situation. The Antillean gang members, John D. and Angelo D., allegedly negotiated the delivery of the cocaine. [Copyright Expatica News 2004] |
