Raptor Squad officers have charged 12 Hells Angels OMCG members and associates for allegedly breaching their consorting warnings under Strike Force Benson.
Strike Force Benson was established in August 2025 by State Crime Command's Raptor Squad in response to escalating tension between the Hells Angels and Gladiator OMCGs, following an alleged clubhouse 'takeover' in the state's Hunter Region on Wednesday 23 July 2025.
In a bid to curb the escalating tension, on Friday 1 August 2025, Raptor Squad offers issued 27 Public Safety Orders against various OMCG members and associates, preventing them from attending the clubhouse in the wake of the takeover.
