THE Bandidos' national sergeant-at-arms is among 32 motorcycle gaxxx members and
associates arrested.
A series of search warrants executed this morning at properties across southeast Queensland closed an 11-month operation, code named Kilo Subdue.
Investigators allegedly found methylamphetamine, MDMA, cannabis, guns and a mobile phone taser during the raids.
Those charged will face 151 charges.
Among those arrested, five people including the sergeant-at-arms, will face charges of drug trafficking, production of a dangerous drug and production of GBH.
One person will appear in the Beenleigh Magistrates Court later today and others will face the Brisbane Magistrates Court tomorrow.
Metro North regional crime co-ordinator Tony Duncan said the operation targeted the Brisbane chapter of the Bandidos.
Police will claim they supplied drugs to the entertainment precinct in Brisbane.
``A lot of the investigation revolved around the distribution of drugs,'' Acting Detective Superintendent Duncan said.
There were no clubhouses searched today, he said.
``They were the addresses of the outlaw motorcycle gaxxx members and their associates. They included Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Ipswich. The raids all went on without any incident.''
Six of the people arrested were members of the Bandidos. Two of the members were charged with trafficking and production.
Overall, five people were charged with drug trafficking and the other charges included serious assaults and the production of dangerous drugs.
Two long arm, some replicas, a shotgun and three mobile phone Tasers were seized.
The Special Emergency Response Team was used in a raid at Archerfield
