AUSTRALIA - Perth fire linked to bikie gang feud

OFF THE WIRE
Police are investigating whether a fire at a Perth tattoo parlour is linked to an ongoing feud between the Rebels and the Rock Machine bikie gangs.
The fire at Ink Assault Tattoos at Bibra Lake in the city's south started some time before 10.30pm (WST) on Sunday and caused around $50,000 of damage before firefighters brought it under control.
The parlour, linked to the Rebels, was the target of an attempted firebombing in November last year, causing several hundred dollars worth of damage.
Police at the time put the firebombing down to tensions between the Rebels and the Rock Machine outlaw motorcycle gangs over the illegal drug trade.
The WA Police arson squad is investigating.
