ACT Policing has caught two men drug driving and issued defect notices after targeting Outlaw Motorcycle Gang activity in the ACT.
About 2:20pm yesterday (Wednesday 6 November) police received information that an interstate-based Outlaw Motorcycle Gang was travelling through Canberra and had stopped at a service station in Hume.
A vehicle check point was set up on the Monaro Highway with officers from Road Policing, Proactive Policing and Taskforce Invidia stopping the riders to conduct drug and alcohol testing, and vehicle checks.
Two men tested positive to methamphetamine in roadside screening and were taken to the City Police Station to undergo further testing.
Four motorcycles were issued major defect notices and were not permitted to travel further on ACT roads. One rider was also issued an infringement notice for driving with a suspended licence.
Officer in Charge of Drugs and Organised Crime Acting Inspector Laura Howe said police have a zero-tolerance approach to OMCG members breaking the law in Canberra.
“We want any criminal group entering Canberra to know that if you engage in criminal activity while you are here, you will be arrested and charged and put before the courts,” Acting Inspector Howe said.
