Notorious Finks bikies left Wodonga without issue after their weekend road-trip

Police have commented on the behaviour of an outlaw bikie gang following their 350km+ ride from Melbourne to Wodonga.

Police said no arrests were made at Wodonga after hundreds of Finks bikies descended on the border town at the weekend.

After closely following the group on Friday night, a spokesperson from Wodonga Police said the group “left quietly” on Saturday morning.

The organised run, which is becoming an annual summer trip for one of Australia’s most feared gangs, kicked off about 9am on Friday.

Police circled the Cranbourne West clubrooms as gang members prepared to start the ride, which drew about 300 people last year.

Finks boss Koshan Rashidi, aka Kosh Radford, met with about six police in the club driveway while other members waited behind him for further instructions.

Radford was relaxed, laughing with Detective Senior Sergeant Ashley Ryan as he discussed the journey up the Hume Freeway.

However, Radford wasn’t prepared to talk about the ride with the Leader.

“No, no. You don’t talk ever talk. You know the rules,” he said.

The group of about 20 gang members then gathered around Radford for a final briefing.

Engines revving and headlights flashing, they formed an intimidating line of bikes before roaring down the drive to start their journey north.

On Thursday, a Victoria police spokeswoman said the Finks were expected to arrive in Wodonga on Friday and return to Cranbourne, potentially via Mornington, on Saturday.

Police also advised of a weekend run planned by Comanchero outlaws.

The gang was expected to ride between Hallam and Truganina on Saturday.

Echo Taskforce detectives, along with a number of specialist and local police from Eastern and Southern Regions would also be out in force to monitor the runs.

“They will closely monitor the runs and take swift action in the event any OMCG members involved in the (ride) commit criminal, road safety or public order offences,” a police spokeswoman said.

The Comanchero are recognised as the most aggressive bikie gang in the nation, while in 2012, Finks MC was the first club to be declared a criminal organisation in Australia.
