SYDNEY's bikie wars have migrated to the Eastern Suburbs, the home turf of the Bra Boys.
Police have linked six shootings and assaults with tit-for-tat attacks involving Comanchero and Notorious bikie members.
The attacks have increased since the public humiliation of two Comanchero, allegedly bashed by senior Notorious members at Bondi Beach on October 28.
Detectives now fear an all-out turf war and an escalation of public brawling, arson attacks and even drive-by shootings.
The latest incident between the gangs involved the fire-bombing of a smash repair shop at Blacktown on Friday night. But it was a bloody brawl between Bra Boys and a relative of a Comanchero bikie that has changed the complexion of the gang wars.
On November 20 a 19-year -old Bra Boy was allegedly involved in a fight with a 15-year-old. A witness said the fight was sparked after a group of Bra Boys attempted to cut off the teenager's rats tail as he left the beach after a swim about 3.30pm.
Following an altercation involving scissors, which allegedly left the teenager with a wound to his leg, the Bra Boy and the Comanchero bikie's cousin began fighting.
"The young kid trains at a Mixed Martial Arts gym and he was getting on top of the Bra Boy so that's when the other one got involved," the witness said.
The older Bra Boy allegedly got involved in the fight before realising the teen was related to a Maroubra-based Comanchero.
The 26-year-old bikie is in custody for his alleged role in the Bondi brawl but is likely to be bailed when he appears at Central Local Court today.
"They are a bit worried down at the beach that there could be some reprisals when he gets out. They had no idea who the kid was," a source said.
A police spokesman said they were called to Maroubra Beach about 6pm after receiving calls Bra Boys were "causing trouble".
"We had general duties, riot and dog squads attend but by the time we arrived at 6.11pm the crowd had dispersed and nobody wanted to make a statement," police said.
Sources said there is no feud between the Comanchero and the Bra Boys.
Acting Gangs Squad commander Chief Superintendent Wayne Hayes said they were tracking the activities of Notorious and Comanchero members.
"We don't know what is behind it but there has definitely been a huge escalation in the number of incidents involving these two groups," Supt Hayes said.
A burning 4WD dumped at the front door of a club in Oxford St three weeks ago and two shootings in Sydney's west last week have been linked to the war.

It is a well known fact for those on the 'job' that the crime gangs are left to sort it out between themselves, even if it is at the risk of endangering the lives of the innocent public.
If a 'normal' person would be doing the same crime, then the police would not be doing general duties.
Police corruption in New South Wales and Victoria is well known. The criminal element has certain key members of the Police Force on it's payroll.
The 3 hour response time was done on purpose.
