SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE NAMES OF 15 CHARGED AND WHAT THEY’VE BEEN CHARGED WITH

Adam Christopher White, who was once the president of the Gold Coast Bandidos before he patched over and allegedly joined the Comancheros Outlaw Motorcycle Gang, has – along with a network of associates – been arrested and charged with the trafficking and supply of dangerous drugs.

The 33-year-old from Cannon Hill was charged with six offences, including two counts of trafficking in dangerous drugs – serious organised crime, one count of carrying a weapon in public, and one count of supplying dangerous drugs.

Police labelled White as the alleged “principal offender” in the wide reaching syndicate.

It will be further alleged the syndicate transported drugs into Queensland via heavy vehicles, for distribution throughout South East and Central Queensland.

Police seized almost $2m in drugs and property after raids on a Comancheros bikie gang drug trafficking syndicate.

White is due to appear in Cleveland Magistrates Court on January 20, while his co-accused, also alleged members of the Comancheros gang, have been charged with varying other offences.

Police arrested 42 people on 430 charges as part of the 10-month-long sting.

Bayside officer-in-charge Senior Sergeant Mark Mooney said the operation had in its early days identified a prime mover which allegedly made trips from interstate carrying drugs.

The police helicopter tracks a prime mover allegedly used to transport drugs.

He said police knew of five trips the truck made.

Snr Sgnt Mooney said Operation Tango Citron would be a major disrupter to the syndicate and the flow of illegal drugs into Queensland.

“Ten people have been charged with trafficking and 42 people with 428 other charges. One person is a confirmed member of the Comancheros,” he said.

He said police would now start trying to trace five handguns and eight high-powered rifles to other crimes and try to work out how the syndicate obtained them.

“That will take time as some of the serial numbers have been removed,” he said.

Alexander Hyland has been charged with trafficking dangerous drugs.
