FORENSIC testing of drugs found inside Mark “Bomber’’ Thompson’s home could determine if more charges are laid by investigators.

The Herald Sun understands evidence seized from Thompson’s converted warehouse in Rouse St, Port Melbourne, was sent for forensic analysis.

Victoria Police forensic analysis can determine the type of drug and also detect DNA from those who have handled it.

Investigations will also centre on where the drugs were found.

Police allegedly found drugs during a raid on Thompson’s warehouse on Friday, January 5.

Thomas Windsor, 28, a man with alleged links to bikies, had been living on and off at the apartment.

He has been charged with drug trafficking.

Thompson’s property has two separate living areas complete with kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.

Another man, Karl Holt, who allegedly has links to the Bandidos bikie gang, has also been charged with trafficking a drug of dependence as part of the same police probe.

Thompson self-presented at a police station and spoke to investigators last week after the raid on his property became public.

He was released without charge.

Since the raid, Thompson has continued to live in the Port Melbourne property but has given little away about how the alleged bikie-linked figures came to live in his house.
