Police have charged a Goulburn man as part of an ongoing operation targeting the Comanchero outlaw motorcycle gang. The 35-year-old was arrested on Wednesday following a series of searches in the Goulburn area.
Operation Details
Strike Force Raptor, a specialist police unit dedicated to investigating organised crime and outlaw motorcycle gangs, executed the operation. Officers conducted searches at multiple properties, uncovering evidence linking the man to the Comanchero gang.
Charges Laid
The man faces multiple charges, including participating in a criminal group, supplying a prohibited drug, and possessing a prohibited weapon. He was refused bail and appeared in Goulburn Local Court on Thursday.
Police allege the man played a significant role within the Comanchero gang, engaging in drug supply and weapon possession. The operation is part of a broader crackdown on outlaw motorcycle gangs in New South Wales.
Strike Force Raptor has been instrumental in disrupting criminal activities associated with bikie gangs, leading to numerous arrests and seizures across the state. Superintendent John Gralton emphasized the commitment to dismantling these organisations.
"This arrest sends a clear message that police will not tolerate the criminal activities of outlaw motorcycle gangs," Superintendent Gralton said. "We will continue to target those who seek to profit from illegal activities and cause harm to our communities."
The investigation remains ongoing, and further arrests are anticipated as police continue to gather intelligence on the Comanchero network in the region.
