Bikie Member Arrested - Darwin

Police

A 26-year-old member of the Darwin Chapter of the Rebels Motorcycle Gang has this morning been arrested following an incident in the Darwin CBD on Wednesday the 21st of March.

“About 1:30am the 26-year-old was removed from a licensed premise due to his level of intoxication.” Said Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Mark Stringer.

“This individual acted aggressively towards security staff and innocent bystanders, removing his shirt and attempting to encourage people to engage in a fight with him.”

“It will be alleged that during his tirade of verbal abuse, the 26-year-old made clear his involvement with the outlaw motorcycle gang in an effort to intimidate patrons.” Said Det Act Snr Sgt Stringer from the Drug and Organised Crime Squad.

“Through CCTV Police were able to identify the alleged offender and arrested him this morning.”

“Anti-social behaviour by members of OMCGs or any other members of the public will not be tolerated by the NT Police; and people are encouraged report anti-social behaviour incidents to authorities.”

He’s been charged with Disorderly Behaviour in a Public Place and been issued with a Banning Notice preventing him from entering licensed premises within the CBD for 12 months.

The 26-year-old has been bailed to appear in the Darwin Magistrates Court on the 26th of April.
