Alleged getaway e-scooter seized after man charged with murder of former bikie Yusuf Nazlioglu

Police have conducted five different searches across Sydney today, after charging Mohammed Khalid with the murder of a former bikie who shot in front of his wife just weeks after being released from jail.

Yusuf Nazlioglu was shot up to ten times as he stepped out of his car in the underground car park of an apartment complex in Rhodes in June last year.

Detective Superintendent Danny Doherty alleged Khalid set multiple vehicles alight after the murder and used an e-scooter to leave the scene.

"Police will allege in court he was involved in the planning and coordination of the murder," Doherty said.

"He performed a number of acts prior to, during and after the murder and acted in a joint criminal enterprise with others to murder Yusuf Nazlioglu.

Doherty said the accused acted in "complete disregard" for the safety of Nazlioglu's wife and others.

He said drugs, cash, electronics a car and clothing were seized in today's searches, along with an e-scooter.

They also allegedly found a burnt-out and stolen Volkswagen, Mercedes and Range Rover used in relation to the murder.

At the time police described the shooting as a "targeted attack".

At 6am today a 25-year-old man was arrested at a home in Blair Athol in Sydney's South West. 

Mohammed Khalid was taken to Campbelltown Police Station and charged with murder.

The charge comes after an investigation by Taskforce Erebus, which was established to probe several fatal shootings and criminal activities by organised crime networks across Sydney.

Nazlioglu, a former Lone Wolf bikie, was found not guilty in 2020 of the murder of former Comanchero boss Mick Hawi, who was gunned down outside a Rockdale gym in 2018.

His co-accused, alleged getaway driver Jamal Eljaidi, was also acquitted.
