Loaded 3D-printed hand gun found after police raid drug lab in the Gold Coast hinterland

A loaded 3D-printed hand gun has been unearthed by police during a raid on a sophisticated methamphetamine lab in the Gold Coast hinterland.

Police say one man with links to a bikie gang was arrested and is expected to be charged following an early morning swoop on the Mudgeeraba property.

"Throughout the bushland we've discovered about 10 different `hidey-holes' with different bits of lab equipment and paraphernalia and what looks like chemicals," Detective Inspector Brendan Smith said.
