Named: Nine men face court charged in Lone Wolf bikie raids by Raptor North cops from Strike Force Beckenbeeni

Revealed: Here’s the nine Central Coast men charged after a series of dawn raids by anti-bikie police targeting the alleged drug and gun supply of the Lone Wolf outlaw motorcycle gang.

Nine Central Coast men have been charged, eight of which have faced court, after a series of dawn raids police allege will have a devastating impact on the Lone Wolf outlaw motorcycle gang (OMCG).

In February last year officers attached to the state’s anti-bikie Raptor Squad established Strike Force Beckenbeeni to investigate the activities of the Lone Wolf OMCG on the Central Coast.

Following investigations, strike force officers conducted eight search warrants across the coast at Gosford, Terrigal, Wyoming and Springfield and another at Parramatta yesterday.

During the searches, Raptor Squad officers seized eight alleged firearms, including a machine gun, pistol, shotgun and silencer, as well as knives, about $40,000 in cash, more than 300g each of two substances police will allege were cocaine and methylamphetamine, 1.6kg of alleged steroids and 5L of alleged cannabis oil.

During the raids officers arrested and charged nine men from the coast and one man, 18, from Parramatta that police will allege in court were all associates of the Long Wolf OMCG.
