Five men charged as police seize cocaine, steroids, handcuffs
Five men have been charged after police seized cocaine, 15 vials of steroids and handcuffs in a cross-border operation targeting outlaw motorcycle gangs on the weekend.
Police say the men are all bikie gang members or associates.
Officers from Taskforce Nemesis in the ACT and Raptor South in NSW conducted a high-visibility operation between last Thursday and Sunday as part of an investigation into conflicts between members of the Finks and Comancheros in and around Canberra.
As well as seizing the drugs and handcuffs, police served four firearms prohibition notices.
Two men aged 30, and others aged 41 and 46, have been charged with various offences and will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.
A fifth man, aged 24, was charged with low-range drink-driving after being stopped by police in Sutton.
Strike Force Raptor officers conducted 35 home visits, served 19 consorting warnings and several state revenue debt notices on bikies during the operation.
Police said their investigations into the conflicts between the Comancheros and Finks were ongoing.
