National 'bikie' president arrested in Qld

Queensland police say they've nabbed the national president of the Comanchero bikie gang at Coolangatta airport.

He is accused of threatening to kill a police officer on the Gold Coast in December 2012.

A 29-year-old man from New South Wales was charged with making threats after he was arrested by police as he arrived at Coolangatta airport on Monday afternoon.

Detective Inspector Brendan Smith said: "The arrest sends a message to gang members that unlawful actions will not be tolerated and enforcement action will be taken at every opportunity, regardless as to where they reside."

The man is due to appear at Southport Magistrates Court on Tuesday morning.
