| Bikies stop machete-wielding robbers
An armed robbery at a bowling club in Sydney's west came unstuck last night when the robbers were confronted by a bikie group socialising at the club.
Police said the robbers, allegedly armed with machetes, raided the Regents Park Sporting Club about 8.50pm yesterday, ordering people at the bar to lie on the floor.
But the robbers failed to notice 40 members of the Southern Cross Cruiser Club, gathered in the nearby auditorium.
"The two guys burst in with machetes and started waving them around and intimidating people," said bikie club founder "The Bear".
"They walked in to try and do a robbery and thought there'd just be people playing bingo and poker machines.
"But there were also 40 blokes there having a social night and it's come unstuck for them."
