So when the pair jumped in the one car after touching down at Sydney Airport on Wednesday morning the bikie-busting Strike Force Raptor happened to be nearby and stepped in.

Hyde and Ewan were cuffed, sat in the gutter beside the airport’s thundering access road then banged up in Surry Hills police cells for the day.

Two Rebels bikies were apprehended by NSW Police after they flew in from Perth this morning to go to court.

Their barrister Malcolm Ramage QC labelled the arrests “farcical”, arguing officers should have issued a warning instead.

“It’s a breach of the most technical nature,” Mr Ramage said.

Magistrate Brett Shields replied: “it’s a breach”.

“You’ve got me there,” said Mr Ramage.

A police prosecutor tried to prevent Hyde getting bail again, given the airport breach and because of the alleged verbal outburst at police.

“He was very lucky to get police bail. Within 12 days he’s breached it,” prosecutor Sergeant Hughes said.

“He was given a chance and look what he did?”

Raptor/Riot Squad caught the bikies getting into the same car to parramatta court house from the airport and arrested them..

But Mr Shields released the pair on conditional bail, saying the situation had not changed significantly since police gave them bail on August 10.
