Quotes attributable to Detective Inspector Jason Blaine, Serious and Organised Crime Division.
“This operation, and the significant police presence at Western Australia’s entry points, was aimed at preventing and disrupting OMCG activity within our state.
“Western Australia has the strongest anti-OMCG legislation in the country, including robust anti-consorting powers. WA Police will continue to utilise the full range of legislative powers available to disrupt the anti-social and criminal behaviour associated with Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs.
“Our message is clear: if you are considering joining an OMCG, think again. We have zero tolerance for the criminality and intimidation often associated with these groups, and we will continue working to ensure Western Australia remains a hostile environment for OMCGs.”
