Police target Hells Angels bikies as gang descends on Canberra for national run

Dozens of members of the Hells Angels bikie gang have been targeted during a heavy police operation in Canberra.

As the outlaw bikie gang descended on the nation's capital for its national run between January 30 and February 2, Raptor Squad officers issued 50 traffic fines, charged two men and seized weapons and alleged drugs.

During the joint police operation between ACT Policing and the NSW Crime Command, officers stopped and checked 40 bikie members, conducted 35 personal searches and 18 car searches.

Police also made two gun compliance checks at homes in Goulburn and Queanbeyan in NSW on January 30 and located knuckle dusters, a lock picking kit and small quantities of substances believed to be illegal drugs.

Investigations into these seized items remain ongoing, police said.

A 36-year-old man was also charged with possessing prohibited drugs and a 43-year-old man was charged with driving without a license.

They were both issued notices to attend court in Queanbeyan on March 17.

Separately, a 30-year-old man was spoken to by police over the alleged discovery of a knife.

Detective Acting Superintendent Virginia Gorman, Raptor Squad Commander, said outlaw bikie gangs should always expect a strong police presence at their gatherings.

"Outlaw motorcycle gangs and their associates should know that they cannot gather in large numbers for a national run without attracting the attention of the Raptor Squad," Gorman said.
