A PETITION demanding the removal of bikers
from three rented houses on Rupert Street will be
presented to North Vancouver District council

Monday, June 13.

Onginated by Sylvio (Leo)
Belair, of 1419 Rupert, the
petition which began cir-
culating last Tuesday had
been signed by 89 people by
Thursday.

Belair blames the bikers
for tearing out the front of a
house on the same street and
using it for bonfire at one of
their street parties a few days
before the house was to be
demolished.

He had the petition
printed up because of anger
over an incident last
weekend in which he says he
twice had to call the RCMP
because beer bottles were
being thrown at him.

Addressed to the mayor
and council, the pettion
states that those who have
signed it are “constantly
harassed by gangs of motor-
cyclists and their associates
who are partying in this area
up to seven days a week unul
2 a.m. and later with ex-
cessively loud music.”

The peution claims there
is “imminent danger to both
citizens and property as re-
cent events include:

e Physical threats made to
both property owners and

the tenants in the
neighborhood (including
children and pets):

e@ Destruction and burning
of a residence in this area;

e Damage to street lights
caused by gunshots;

e Speeding and unsafe con-
duct of bikes, cars and
trucks on streets and lanes
(on Rupert Street and Har-
bour Avenue):

e Throwing of beer bottles
at people and buildings.

In bold black letters the
petition states: “We receive
insufficient help from the
police in these matters.
There its only so much that
the RCMP can do. Now we
need your help as well to nd
our neighborhood and the
district of these undesirables
before it is too late!”

Inspector Paul Hendncks
maintains the RCMP have
given all reasonable help in
the matter.

He says no charges were
laid in the house burning
because the owner stated he
did not wish to bring any.

He said police attending
last weekend's complaint of
bottle throwing did not lay
