The bikie gang members were arrested after cops raided homes and luxury apartments across NSW. See the full list of names and charges.
A dozen Hells Angels members have been arrested after police raided homes and luxury apartments across NSW in a sweeping crackdown on the bikie gang.
Police allege the men continued to consort with convicted offenders despite warnings, occurring during national runs and the gang’s 50th anniversary celebrations.

On Wednesday, the Raptor Squad moved in, arresting 12 men.
