A member of an Outlaw Motorcycle Gang has been charged after law enforcement discovered a loaded weapon and illegal drugs in his possession yesterday.
At approximately 3:30 PM on Sunday, December 8th, police observed a Harley Davidson motorcycle in the Seaford Meadows area. The rider was adorned with a Comanchero OMCG vest.
When police attempted to pull over the motorbike, the rider did not stop and fled the scene at a high speed. Instead of pursuing, police called in PolAir, who promptly took to the air to track the motorcyclist safely.
Subsequently, officers from the Crime Gangs Task Force apprehended the individual at a hotel in Modbury North. Officers reportedly found a significant amount of methamphetamine in the possession of the 35-year-old man from Aldinga Beach.
Following the investigation, authorities searched a residence in Elizabeth Downs, where they recovered the Harley Davidson motorcycle and a loaded firearm.
The suspect has been charged with riding while disqualified, dangerous driving to evade police, possession of a controlled drug, unauthorized possession of a firearm, breaching a firearms prohibition order, and possession of prescription medication. He did not seek bail and is scheduled to appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court today.
