Over the weekend, police from Taskforce Maxima have charged a 28-year-old Gold Coast man and member of the Bandidos OMCG with multiple offences including unlawful use of a motor vehicle, evading police, possession of dangerous drugs and driving whilst disqualified.
The arrest follows an incident on Saturday evening where police observed the man driving a stolen vehicle in Labrador. The vehicle attempted to evade police and stingers were deployed to halt the vehicle. The man was arrested by police after a short foot chase.
It will be alleged that police located an amount of ecstasy tablets and various identification cards within the vehicle.
He is due to appear in Southport Magistrates Court on 15 July 2019.
Officer in Charge of Taskforce Maxima, Detective Senior Sergeant Michael Bolin said the arrest was a culmination of significant investigations by police in the Gold Coast and Logan Districts.
"We are focused on keeping our community safe and this arrest is a result of extensive police investigations conducted over several weeks," Detective Senior Sergeant Bolin said.
