A COMANCHERO bikie has been charged after police found a Glock pistol following an early morning raid on a property at Lugarno, in Sydney’s south west.

Farres Abounader, 36, has been charged with weapons offences — including breaching a firearms prohibition order — following Wednesday’s raid.

It is understood during the raid Abounader fled the house running towards a reserve after which police found a Glock 9mm pistol in the same vicinity which had an empty magazine and ammunition.

Police will allege the gun was one of a number of Glock pistols imported illegally from Germany.
