Police from the Organised Crime Squad have seized one kilogram of explosives in a raid on a Balga house linked to the Comancheros bikie gang.
The raid was in response to an incident earlier this week, in which several shots were fired into a heavily fortified house and a car in Darch, in Perth's north.
A member of the Comancheros was in the house at the time of the shooting.
Superintend ent Charlie Carver says police have also raided the gang's Northbridge clubhouse.
"At the Comancheros house, a stick of Powergel explosive has been located, that's approximately one kilogram in weight and could cause extreme damage or even loss of life if it was primed and detonated," he said.
"It's not a usual find but it comes on the back of the 57 sticks of Powergel we took out of the Rock Machine Headquarters at the beginning of this year.
"This state has a big mining industry and I'd suggest that it wouldn't be too hard to get hold of that particular explosive."
