A 34-year-old man, identified as a significant figure in the Bandidos bikie gang, has been arrested and charged with multiple serious offences in Sydney. The arrest took place in Glendenning following a joint operation by the NSW Police’s Raptor Squad and the Department of Primary Industries, which began in January. During a search of a residence in Agnes Banks on January 30, investigators reportedly discovered a variety of hunting equipment, including GPS devices, collars with electric shock features, explosives, testosterone, and slingshots.
Forensic analysis revealed evidence of 18 separate illegal hunting incidents occurring between May 2023 and December 2024, linked to the GPS and mobile phone data. Consequently, he faces charges for supplying a prohibited firearm and ammunition, as well as supplying a prohibited drug. Additionally, he is charged with possession of a prohibited weapon and handling explosives without a proper licence. The man has also been implicated in 46 offences related to illegal hunting activities.
After his arrest, he was taken to Mount Druitt Police Station, where bail was denied. He is scheduled to appear in Mount Druitt Local Court today.
