Two alleged Mongrel Mob members have been arrested and charged with gun possession and gang recruitment.
On Tuesday (8 July), detectives from the specialist drug taskforce raided a home at Loganlea, police allege, where they allegedly found guns and “gang clothing and paraphernalia”.
Police said in a statement that two men were arrested and charged.
“Both men, aged 27 and 44, were charged with one count each of recruiting persons to become participant in criminal organisation and unlawful possession of a firearm,” the statement read.
“They are expected to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court today.”
Organised Crime Gangs Group Detective Inspector Craig Bowman said police would continue to proactively target members of organised crime gangs and their criminal activities.
“We are aware of the attempts by some groups to recruit and expand, and we are actively targeting these groups to prevent their actions impacting the safety of the community,” Detective Inspector Bowman said.
