Alleged Lone Wolf bikies member Billy Dolar faces drug charges with Paul Pincham, Darren O’Connor, Darren McGregor and Samuel Turner

An alleged Lone Wolf bikie member has faced court accused of major drug supply on the Coffs Coast. The identities of other men also charged after raids have also been revealed.

Charges against five men who were arrested during a major police drug sting have been mentioned in court.

Nearly 60 police officers stormed homes in dawn raids across Coffs Harbour in June – dismantling what they alleged was a major cocaine and ice supply network linked to a bikie gang.

They charged Paul Pincham, 53, and 29-year-old Billy Dolar, who police say is a member of the Lone Wolf Outlaw Motorcycle Gang, with supplying a large commercial quantity of drugs.

The Coffs Harbour men, who were both refused bail after being arrested, had their cases brought back before Coffs Harbour Local Court on Tuesday.

Cases against three more men charged during Strike Force Goodparla were also heard.

Darren John O’Connor, 48, is facing 47 charges of drug supply, and one count of dealing with the suspected proceeds of crime.

The Woolgoolga man successfully applied through his lawyer to have his bail varied so that he no longer had a curfew and was able to drink alcohol.

Meanwhile, 35-year-old Toormina man Darren McGregor faced 29 charges of drug supply and Coffs Harbour man Samuel Turner, 31, faced one charge of drug supply.

Mr Turner’s lawyer said his client’s case would remain before the Local Court due to the less serious nature of the charge and indicated that he would be pleading not guilty.

None of the men were in court on Tuesday for the mentions due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Their cases are next due to be mentioned in the same court on October 12.

The culmination of Strike Force Goodparla resulted in three police raids Coffs Harbour on June 17 and another seven almost a week later which were caught on camera.

Police allege they seized ice and cocaine with an estimated street value of $400,000 during the raids.

They also allegedly seized three cars, a Harley Davidson motorbike, a jet ski, two trail bikes, jewellery, marijuana, weapons and mobile phones.
