Organised Crime Gangs Group detective superintendent Troy Pukallus said each charge incrementally protects the public from the impacts of gangs and organised criminal activity.
“We continually target and combat organised crime – this week was about exerting more pressure.  On a daily basis, the Queensland Police Service relentlessly disrupts and pursues gang members and associates who commit serious crimes that put our community at risk,” Mr Pukallus said.
“These 68 arrests should be a message to anyone thinking of associating with outlaw motorcycle gangs or engaging in organised crime – you have a choice to stop and/or exit completely; otherwise expect the ongoing attention and intervention of Gangs investigators.”
Detectives from QPS Gangs and Organised Crime Group have released body-worn footage from four search warrants.
