Bikie charged over steroid imports

Sydney outlaw motorcycle gang member has been arrested following the seizure of an overseas shipment of steroids. Three packages from Thailand containing 1.6 litres of a steroid were allegedly intercepted on March 13 by Customs officials. NSW Police identified one of the intended recipients as an alleged Comanchero member. On Tuesday, officers raided three premises at Liverpool and Mt Pritchard, in Sydney's southwest, and seized two bottles of a liquid believed to be a steroid. Other restricted substances, cash, empty vials, computers and importation documents were also seized during the raids. Police arrested the 32-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman who were charged with multiple counts of importing steroids and possessing a restricted substance. They were both granted conditional bail to appear at Campbelltown Local Court on June 19.

Bikie gang drug arrests in Tasmania

Guns and drugs have been seized in northern Tasmania after police targeted the Finks bikie gang. Police intercepted a car leaving the Spirit of Tasmania ferry wharf in Devonport, finding amphetamines with an estimated value of $15,000. A raid at a house in the northern town of Penguin resulted in three firearms, including an SKS fully automatic assault rifle, and a large amount of ammunition being seized. A 32-year-old Penguin man, who police say is affiliated with the Finks outlaw motorcycle gang, has been charged with drug trafficking and firearms offences. A 24-year-old woman from nearby Heybridge will also face firearms charges. The haul has led to the state opposition branding the ferry a "drug super highway", a claim dismissed as "alarmist" by the Tasmanian government. Earlier this month, Tasmanian police said they were confident they had smashed a major ring after seizing $2 million worth of drugs and making 11 arrests in the state's north. They are alleging the methamphetamines and cannabis in that haul arrived on domestic flights.
