A Finks outlaw motorcycle gang member – wanted on an outstanding warrant – was refused bail when he eventually faced court over alleged traffic and drug offences.
When the 24-year-old man from Shalvey failed to appear before Mt Druitt Local Court on Monday, February 6 over a pursuit with police and other traffic matters, a conviction warrant was issued for his arrest.
About 2.30pm on Friday, February 10, an off-duty police officer saw the man at a shopping centre in Bay Village Rd, Bateau Bay.
Officers from the newly-formed Raptor North squad were notified and with assistance from officers attached to Tuggerah Lakes Police District, the man was arrested soon after at the shopping centre.
During a search of the man, police located mobile phones, cash, a bottle alleged to contain the drug GHB and prescription medication. These items were seized to undergo forensic examination.
The man was taken to Wyong Police Station, where the outstanding warrant was executed, and he was also charged on two counts of possess prohibited drug, drive motor vehicle during disqualification period, and police pursuit – not stop – drive recklessly.
