StoryCast ’21: Biker Gangs At War

Sky News published this video item, entitled “StoryCast ’21: Biker Gangs At War” – below is their description.

Using the timeframe of the last 21 years, Sky News returns to some of this century’s biggest news stories, using the focus of extraordinary personal stories, defined by these events.

On August 12, 2007, mechanic and Hell’s Angel, Gerry Tobin was shot dead by a rival biker gang as he was riding his motorcycle on the M40 in Warwickshire.

The shooting, on a busy Sunday afternoon, was carefully planned by members of the Outlaw’s biker gang and had roots in a turf war.

But the nature of the attack, brought a previously underground world screaming into the mainstream.

Sky correspondent Darren Little was dispatched to the murder scene, not knowing that it was the beginning of a story that would take more than two years to tell and culminate in a face-to-face meeting with one of Europe’s most notorious crime bosses.
