A man has been charged, a vehicle seized and over $80,000 in Sheriff’s Office warrants executed following a run through Melbourne’s outer northern suburbs yesterday by the Hells Angels Outlaw Motorcycle Gang (OMCG).
Riders were intercepted at a vehicle checkpoint in Campbellfield on Thursday, April 25.
Among 29 OMCG members and associates stopped, police and partner agencies issued two unroadworthy notices, nine Environmental Protection Agency notices, and a 49-year-old Pakenham man was charged with possession of a drug of dependence.
Officers dealt with 221 outstanding warrants worth more than $230,000 involving 17 offenders, including the service of seven day notices which will be followed up by the Sheriff.
Two vehicles were also clamped by officers from the Sheriff’s Office.
The Pakenham man, who is a patched member of the Hells Angels OMCG, was bailed to appear at Broadmeadows Magistrates’ Court on September 3.
Detective Inspector Craig Darlow said “The collaborative effort with our partner agencies ensures we are able to relentlessly disrupt these gangs to further prevent and respond to organised crime in our state”.
“Our collective commitment to make Victoria safer and hold criminal groups to account is unwavering.”
Anyone with information about OMCG activity is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or at www.crimestoppers.com.au
