Warlocks Motorcycle Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Warlocks Motorcycle Club is the name used by several motorcycle clubs or gangs in various parts of the United States and other nations.
The most widely known Warlocks Motorcycle clubs, which are not associated with any other similarly-named clubs, are located in the Philadelphia area, including Delaware County, PA and South Jersey (Atlantic City, Camden, etc.) They bear "colors" that are different from any of the other Warlocks organizations.
The clubs in the Philadelphia area have been associated with gang violence and organized crime and have participated in drug trafficking, extortion, and various other illegal acts, sometimes for higher criminal organizations (including the Scarfo crime family). Several of their members have been accused, and some have been convicted, of crimes including murder, assault and drug trafficking. They are especially known for conflicts with members of other motorcycle clubs, including the Pagans and the Breed. There are also reports of this group spreading out into different cities, such as Cleveland, New York, and Boston.
Another "Warlocks Motorcycle Club" was established in 1967 has its mother chapter based out of Florida. Their National website lists on it seven plus chapters in Florida, South Carolina, one in Virginia, one in West Virginia, one in Lincolnshire, England, one in Germany, they also support a chapter consisting of incarcerated members and one of members that have died, The Freebird Chapter. At one time they had a "Nomad" chapter set up in Florida but apparently consisting of members with no set home.
There is one non-affiliated Warlocks club in central Johannesburg in South Africa. It is essentailly a split from the Satan's Saints (which was a split from the Hells Angels some years ago).
Members of most of these clubs have lived lifestyles similar to that found in other "1%er" motorcycle gangs.
