Police share new CCTV after gruesome attack on bikie trying to leave gang

Police have released chilling new CCTV allegedly showing a group planning a gruesome attack on a senior bikie trying to leave the gang.

New CCTV footage of a group allegedly planning a gruesome attack on a man intending to leave a bikie gang has emerged after he was found with his tattoos burned and shot off outside an emergency room.

Police shared the new footage on Friday as they work to find those responsible for the gruesome alleged attack more than a month on.

Leslie ‘Lethal Les’ Grantham, a 51-year-old senior member of the Comanchero bikie gang, was found outside the Rockingham Hospital, in Perth’s south, about 10pm on May 14 with multiple gun shot wounds to his upper body and leg, as well as burns, police said.

In the new footage, which police allege shows bikies planning the alleged attack, three cars, a white SUV, a black ute and a white ute are seen arriving in a car park at Auburn Grove Train Station.

A group emerges from the white ute, which is first to leave the car park, and those people are seen getting into the white SUV shortly after.

One person exits the black ute and appears to pass something to the group in the SUV as it also leaves the car park before driving off as well.

The white ute, with number plates 1BFC417, was later captured pulling into Rockingham Hospital, allegedly with Mr Grantham inside. It has not been seen since.

Police allege Mr Grantham had been trying to leave the outlaw motorcycle gang when the group turned on him.

It is alleged his tattoos were burned off, he was repeatedly shot and set alight before finally being dumped and left for dead outside the hospital.

Detective Senior Sergeant Anthony Thompson told media at the time of the attack anyone who was considering joining an outlaw motorcycle group should heed the “callous” attack as a warning.

The senior sergeant said Mr Grantham was well known to police and had been left with life-changing injuries.

“He’s got burns to his legs, and we suspect that’s a product of other people trying to remove his tattoos,” he alleged.

“He was a patch member, and he was a senior member, and he held a position of authority within that club.

“If you’re thinking about joining an outlaw motorcycle gang, think again, this person has now been left with life-changing injuries … solely because he was a member.”

Mr Grantham has since been released from hospital, but is refusing to co-operate with authorities.
