Queensland Police charge three Bandidos members with extortion

Hitting fast and in force, anti-bikie police bust down doors.

Police arrested Adam White, 26, the alleged ex-president of the Gold Coast Bandidos and his associates.

He’s an accused ringleader of the Broadbeach brawl that sparked the bikie crackdown.

He and his associates have been charged with extortion.

“These thugs saw an opportunity to exploit (victims) for money,” Brendan Smith from Queensland Police said.

“They stamped or they fined these victims $5000, $2000 was paid over before we became involved.”

The alleged victims are tradesmen, one is the son of a police officer.
