Rebels arrested in NSW police raids

Nine people have been charged after a series of police raids targeting the Rebels outlaw motorcycle gang on the NSW mid-north coast.

Police raided the Rebels' Taree clubhouse just before dawn on Tuesday, and searched a number of homes during a two-day operation.

Seven firearms, methylamphetamine (ice) and cannabis were seized, along with Rebels gang paraphernalia, bar fridges and alcohol.

Seven men and two women - all Rebels members or associates - were arrested, police say

They're due to face court in coming weeks charged with various offences, including drug and firearm offences.

Detective Superintendent Peter Thurtell said police were making great inroads in relation to outlaw motorcycle gangs in the area.
