Police

A 29-year-old male member of the Darwin Chapter of the Rebels Outlaw Motorcycle Gang (OMCG) has been arrested at a Woodroffe premises occupied by an ex Hells Angels member.

He was arrested in relation to a warrant to attend Darwin Supreme Court in relation to charges for Attempting to Pervert the Course of Justice, and numerous other offences.

Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Stringer from Strike Force Trident said Police tracked the fugitive down to the Woodroffe address and found the Rebels Outlaw Bikie in the ceiling of the house.

“Police also located and seized a quantity of methamphetamine, cannabis, cannabis seeds and a class A clandestine laboratory inside the residence.”

Investigations are continuing in relation to the clandestine drug lab and drugs located.

Detective Senior Sergeant Stringer said, “It was good a good result to finally catch up with this guy.  We almost had him last week when he ran from us and ended up in a pile of manure.”

He will appear in Darwin Magistrates Court on Monday 30 September.
