Possible explosives found in Narre Warren after two Comanchero bikies arrested

Victoria Police detectives from Task Force Echo have found possible explosives after two members of an outlaw bikie gang from Melbourne's south east were arrested this morning.

Two separate search warrants were issued in relation to an alleged shooting incident at High Street, Preston on October 24. Police arrived to find the alleged offenders had fled. No one was injured at the time.

Today, a 29-year-old Commander of the Comanchero Hallam Chapter was arrested during a search warrant at Frederick Street in Dandenong, where a small amount of what is believed to be methyl amphetamine was found.

A 24-year-old man, also a member of the Hallam Chapter of the Comancheros, was arrested during a search warrant at Heatherton Road in Narre Warren, where police found a large number of firearms and what police believe to be explosives in a car.

The area has been roped off, and the Bomb Response Unit is attending to ensure the materials are disposed of safely.

Both men have been arrested and are assisting police with their enquiries.

Anyone with information about the investigation is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
