A tenth man has been charged with the murder of Gold Coast bikie Shane Bowden as police promise to smash a "code of silence" surrounding the investigation.

A 26-year-old Bellbird Park man - believed to be a member of the rival Mongols outlaw motorcycle gang - is the latest to be charged over the alleged hit on Mr Bowden in October last year.

Earlier today a 37-year-old Wanora man was also charged with murder, which follows the arrest and charging of seven others on Sunday.

Police released videos of those dramatic arrests, which took place primarily across the Gold Coast, and followed the arrest of Brisbane West Mongols president Ian Ronald Crowden.

Mr Bowden was allegedly shot and killed in the driveway of his Pimpama home in October.

Detective Superintendent Brendan Smith said police are continuing to dismantle the so-called brotherhood and code of silence surrounding the death of Mr Bowden.

"This was a calculated and premeditated act with many people involved in varying aspects of the execution of Shane," he said.

"There is no loyalty when you are facing a significant time behind bars away from your family and friends.

"This is the time to speak up and take advantage of the indemnity on offer and the $250,000 reward."
