Detective Chief Inspector David Scutchings, Officer in Charge, Crime Gangs Task Force, said, "SAPOL are committed to investigating firearms offences involving members and associates of Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs.
"While police will allege this person is a member of the Comanchero Outlaw Motorcycle Gang, this arrest is not directly related to Operation Ironside.
"This offending is yet another example of the propensity shown by OMCG members to arm themselves. Of concern to police is that the seizure of two types of ammunition would indicate that there are a number of outstanding firearms that are yet to be located.
"Any information relating to those firearms can be provided anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestopperssa.com.au"
