Four alleged Mongol bikies arrested, paraphernalia seized in sweeping raids across rural NSW

Video has captured the moment police pounced on an alleged Mongol bikie and arrested him during sweeping raids.

Police have released video of sweeping raids across rural NSW targeting alleged members of the Bandidos and Mongols outlaw bikie gangs.

With help from the Raptor Squad, Riverina police executed search warrants in Borooma, Tolland, The Rock, and Mount Austin on Tuesday.

In the video, heavily-armed police are seen arresting a man at a home in the Wagga Wagga region, before he is bundled into a police car.

Body-worn video from police shows officers then searching a property where they allegedly uncovered a riding vest common among OMCGs.

The vest, which is held up to the camera, is seen to have “Riverina” written on the right breast and “Prospect” on the left-hand side.

The sprawling operation across the Wagga Wagga and Griffith areas continued into Thursday and followed reports of assault and intimidation.

The other three men – aged 32, 39, and 41 – were taken to Wagga Wagga police station and charged with stalking or intimidation.

The three men also face charges of affray and participation in an criminal group, and were refused bail to appear in court next week.

Police will allege in court that all four men had links to the Mongols outlaw motorcycle gang (OMCG), with paraphernalia seized by officers.

Later that day, Raptor Squad police conducted six Firearm Prohibition Order (FPO) compliance checks across Lake Wynangan and Griffith.

The raids are part of a proactive operation targeting alleged Bandidos OMCG members and their associates.
