“WA Police Force is committed to disrupting the criminal networks that operate under the
guise of motorcycle clubs and we will continue to focus our efforts on those who bring
harmful drugs into our community," he said.
“As much as they try to conceal their illegal operations, it is seizures such as this that
reinforce the importance of maintaining a strong enforcement approach to outlaw motorcycle
gangs and the local, interstate and overseas criminal networks they engage with.
“This operation has seen senior members of the Rebels OMCG arrested and this will have an
immediate impact on their ongoing activities."
