Detectives from the Echo Taskforce have arrested three people this morning as part of a series of incidents including a kidnapping and home invasion linked to the Hells Angels Outlaw Motorcycle Gang (OMCG).
Warrants were executed at two properties in Reservoir and one in Brunswick West from 6am.
A 42-year-old Reservoir man, who is a chapter president of the Hells Angels, a 23-year-old Brunswick West man and a 44-year-old Reservoir man were arrested and subsequently interviewed by police.
The trio will be charged with a number of offences including kidnapping, home invasion, theft of motor vehicle, blackmail and assault.
They are expected to face Melbourne Magistrates’ Court later today.
The charges relate to an incident in South Yarra on 1 June where a male was threatened in relation to an alleged debt and subsequently assaulted and had property stolen from him.
