Drug and Organised Crime Division officer in charge detective Senior Sergeant Mark Stringer said the raid was part of a targeted effort to crackdown on bikie gangs.

‘Bikies consider themselves as being “outside the law” and police make no apology for cracking down on them and seizing illegal guns and other items,” Sen Sgt Stringer said.
