Taskforce Maxima – drugs and cash seized
Overnight, detectives from Task Force Maxima and State Crime Command investigating illegal drug supply by members of the Hells Angels Outlaw Motorcycle Gang (OMCG) executed search warrants in Robina and Bundall.
Police executed the warrants at an address on Pehaligon Way in Robina and storage sheds in Racecourse Drive and Slayter Avenue in Bundall.
The enforcement action, conducted as part of operations targeting the involvement of the Hells Angels in the illegal distribution methylamphetmines resulted in the location of a quantity of steroids, restricted drugs, drug paraphernalia, weapon parts, over 300 rounds ammunition, false drivers licences, Hells Angels paraphernalia, gold (valued at $10,400), $2000 cash (Euros) and $183,000 cash. Two vehicles were also seized for examination.
