Over 300 police officers raided the headquarters of the "Hell's Angels MC Charter Flensburg" and "Bandidos MC Probationary Chapter Neumuenster" on Thursday morning, as a ban against the groups came into effect.

Quote from the article:

Several apartments belonging to members of the groups were also searched to collect evidence relating to the clubs' possessions. All told, 12 members of the Flensburg Hell's Angels and 17 members of the Neumuenster Bandidos have been banned from publically belonging to their respective clubs. The clubs are considered deep rivals, and there have been several instances of violence between the two groups around Germany. According to Klaus Schlie, interior minister of Schleswig-Holstein, both clubs are in violation of penal law and go against the constitutional order. He said the goal of the clubs is to display criminal force in a certain area and to claim territorial rights over the other club using armed violence.
