PETERBOROUGH-What remains of a burned out former biker clubhouse is scheduled for demolition months after it was deemed a suspected arson.
The home sits on the corner of Park and Perry Streets in Peterborough and has been home to at least two notorious biker gangs. The Outlaws and the Vagos both set up shop here at one point over the last few years.
The area around the home had seen some violence related to the local biker gangs. Members of one group allegedly attacked another with a baseball bat in 2012 on the train tracks nearby.
The home was gutted by fire on March 24th, 2017 and has been deemed suspicious. Police say they are investigating it as an arson.
The home had been sold at the time of the fire and the deal was just days from closing according to Patrick Mahoney, The Remax agent who had the property listed. The realtor who handles the sale said the insurance company has finally settled with the owner and there is a firm deal for a purchase of the property. The buyer intends to start construction on a commercial/residential building next year.
Demolition is scheduled for Monda, June 19th.
