A NUMBER of Finks outlaw motorcycle gang members have been charged after a mass police intercept during the club's memorial run this morning.

One was charged with possession of amphetamines, another tested positive in a roadside drug test and others were issued with tickets for minor traffic matters.

The Finks were furious when the memorial run was stopped by a wall of 30 to 40 police in a mass intercept at Oxenford about 11am.
Every member of the 40-strong convoy was breath and drug tested.
Police said 'hanger's-on' outnumbered patched members, and interstate members followed the ride by car.
The Finks complied with the police operation which involved members of Taskforce Hydra, district traffic police and the public safety and response team.
Police were said to very pleased with the operation.
"It sends the right message," said one officer.
"They were talking about not doing the operation at all, but in the end it was very successful.
"It sends the right message to the general public that we can and will stand up to the outlaw gangs. This is what will happen to any other OMCGs as well."

The ride, called Ray's Rock Run, marks the death of Fink member Ray McGarry, father of Gold Coast member Noel McGarry.
It is expected to wind through the Hinterland toward Beaudesert before ending at the club's Wongawallan property tonight where hard rocker Angry Anderson will perform an exclusive show.
