AUSTRALIA has slammed the door on a Rebels bikie from Melbourne who threatened to kill a man’s family during a frightening extortion ordeal.

Jerome Ah Soon – a Melbourne enforcer with the feared outlaw gang – arrived at Tullamarine on August 18 after a trip to his native New Zealand.

Ah Soon allegedly failed to declare his criminal convictions on incoming passenger paperwork.

The 31-year-old Kiwi national was refused entry by Australian Border Force officials and is back on the other side of the Tasman.

The news will be a relief for victims of a campaign of terror he waged in Melton, one of whom was handed a bullet in a frightening confrontation.

The police Echo taskforce investigated Ah Soon and associates for their standover work during three months of 2019.

Ah Soon pleaded guilty to false imprisonment, theft, blackmail and making a threat to kill before he was sentenced to time served – 365 days – in the County Court.

One victim was lured to a Melton McDonald’s restaurant carpark on January 24 of that year by Ah Soon and his crew, who were decked out in Rebels T-shirts and paraphernalia.

Ah Soon demanded the man hand over his car keys during the confrontation.

“Do you want me to kill you?” one of his accomplices said.

Ah Soon ordered the terrified man to follow him to another location, which he did under direction of an accomplice.

Ah Soon said he had “used up all their time” and that he wanted “$20,000 by Monday or I’m coming to your house”.

The bikie then produced a photo of the victim’s house.

“I will come to (your) house and kill everyone inside,” he said, then stole the victim’s ute.

Ah Soon arrived at his second victim’s home demanding money over what he said was a car debt.

The man was not home so Ah Soon told one of his housemates he was the Rebels sergeant-at-arms and had come to collect a $3000 debt on behalf of a friend named Tori.

The man said he didn’t have that kind of money and, in any case, it was not his debt.

“You’re better off finding something rather than nothing because once my boys get here tomorrow I can’t control what they’ll do,” Ah Soon said.

“They’ll run through your house.”

The housemate rang the man Ah Soon was seeking and handed him the phone.

That man was asked where he worked because Ah Soon would “come there right now”.

He said he could stop “the boys” from visiting if he stayed in contact and paid on time.

The victim later handed over $1900 and received threatening phone calls and texts from Ah Soon and his co-offenders for days afterwards.

Victoria Police confirmed it was aware the visa of a 31-year-old patched Rebels member previously charged by Echo had been revoked.
