Alleged Comanchero bikie Daniel John Bennett pleads guilty to firearms offences

An alleged Comanchero bikie who was seen by police throwing a loaded gun onto the roof of a neighbouring house has pleaded guilty.

An alleged Comanchero bikie who police say threw a loaded gun onto the roof of a neighbouring house during his arrest has pleaded guilty to all charges.

Daniel John Bennett appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Tuesday where he pleaded guilty to aggravated possessing a firearm, trafficking a controlled drug and money laundering.

Bennett was arrested on February 15 at a Plympton Park home after police observed him throwing a bag, containing a loaded gun, on to a roof.

A further search of the home allegedly uncovered 28g of methylamphetamine, $20,900 in cash, several fake IDs and passports, Comanchero clothing and a notebook listing drug debts.

It is further alleged by the court that Bennett then called his father from prison asking him to collect a drug debt for him.

Bennett’s father has been released on bail and is still before the courts in relation to these charges.

Bennett was denied bail for the second time last week after he called on the Supreme Court to review his bail.

However, the application was dismissed by Justice Sandi McDonald over his alleged links to the Comanchero Outlaw Motorcycle Gang, evidence that he might flee the state given his access to “large amounts of cash” and an iPad app to make false IDs.

“There are indications there might be a more broadbased family association with the Comanchero,” she said.

“As I mentioned, Mr Bennett’s father has been charged with drug trafficking as a result of Mr Bennett asking him to get a drug debt.

“It is submitted that this association with the Comanchero, suggests that through his gang membership, Mr Bennett has affiliations with other gang members around Australia.”

Bennett will next appear in the District Court in May.
