Sydney bikie arrest follows Lismore drug raids
Gangs Squad detectives have charged an alleged associate of the Lone Wolf outlaw motorcycle gang (OMCG) following raids on properties in Lismore and Sydney last week.
The 21-year-old man was arrested at his Pennant Hills home about 12.30pm yesterday and taken to Hornsby Police Station where he was questioned by Gangs Squad detectives.
He was conditionally bailed to appear in Hornsby Local Court on Wednesday 15 August after being charged with 34 offences:
16 counts of dealing with the proceeds of crime
2 counts of possess prohibited weapon
7 counts of custody of false instrument
9 counts of larceny.
The investigation was launched by Richmond Local Area Command’s Drug Unit, assisted by the State Crime Command Gangs Squad.
The charges were laid as a result of ongoing inquiries by Gangs Squad detectives resulting from a series of simultaneous early morning raids in Sydney and Lismore last Thursday (19 July).
Five men, alleged to be members and associates of the Lone Wolf OMCG, were charged with a number of offences and are before the courts.
Last week’s warrants were executed following a 14-month investigation by Strike Force Tungarra into the alleged involvement of Lone Wolf OMCG members and associates in the ongoing supply and distribution of amphetamine (speed) and MDMA (ecstasy) in the Northern Rivers area.
