ACT Policing has extradited one man from Victoria in relation to an assault in June where patrons and staff were allegedly attacked at a bar in Braddon.
About 2:30am on Sunday, 22 June 2025, a group of interstate outlaw motorcycle gang (OMCG) members were involved in the Hopscotch Bar incident that saw patrons and staff assaulted.
At the time police arrested and charged two men involved.
Following enquiries, police confirmed the alleged involvement of a third Victorian Finks OMCG member in the early morning incident.
The 27-year-old man was arrested by Victoria Police Echo and Viper Taskforce officers on Wednesday (6 August 2025), before being extradited yesterday (Thursday, 7 August 2025) by ACT Policing Taskforce Invidia officers.
This multi-agency response was facilitated via strong anti-OMCG relationships formed through National Taskforce Morpheus. Focusing on enhanced national coordination and collaboration, Taskforce Morpheus is a joint initiative through which all Australian state and territory police, the AFP, ABF, ACIC, ADF, ATO, AusTRAC, Services Australia and New Zealand Police collaboratively target the highest threat OMCGs impacting Australia.
The man faced the ACT Magistrates Court yesterday and was charged with three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, affray and common assault.
Anyone who witnessed the incident (who has not already spoken to police) or anyone who has information about the activities of OMCGs in the ACT is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website. Please quote 8083713. Information can be provided anonymously.
