A man with alleged bikie links has been charged with more than a dozen offences and ordered to spend the night in lock-up after police located weapons, drugs and cash at his Gold Coast home this morning.
The 44-year-old Paradise Point man, who is allegedly linked to outlaw motorcycle gang Mongols, was charged with 14 drug and weapon related offences following a police raid at his Sunbird Avenue home.
Detectives from South East Region’s Taskforce Maxima, State Crime Command executed the search warrant this morning, where they allegedly located two hand guns, a silencer, two knuckle dusters, $12,400 in cash and quantities of cocaine, MDMA and cannabis.

“These are serious offences which pose a significant threat to the community and we will take every opportunity to disrupt this sort of activity which brings nothing but harm to our society,”he said.
The alleged Mongols associate was charged with four counts of possession of dangerous drugs and one count each of: possession of things used in a crime, possession of proceeds of crime and unlawful possession of category H weapon (handguns), category R weapon (silencer), explosives, category M weapon (knuckle dusters and push knife), and restricted item (baton).
