HELLS ANGEL has become the first bikie to be arrested

"There was a Hells Angel lying on the ground in full colours. He'd just been arrested," the witness said."He had a handgun pulled off him and I saw that they were clearing the chamber [of the pistol]. Then I heard him say, 'can you loosen the handcuffs?"'HELLS ANGEL has become the first bikie to be arrested after legislation was passed to clamp down on outlaw gangs.The club member was wearing full gang colours when police pulled him over about 4.30pm yesterday on Garden Street in Alexandria near the Australia Technology Park.A witness who arrived at the scene soon afterwards said the police had forced the man off his bike and taken him into custody.Police confirmed the man had been questioned by members of Strike Force Raptor, a newly formed 75-strong police contingent created to target outlaw motorcycle gangs after a 29-year-old Hells Angels member, Anthony Zervas, was killed two weeks ago at Sydney Airport.Shortly after the arrest, a police spokeswoman confirmed that search warrants had been obtained for properties in Surry Hills and Alexandria, which were tied to the detainee.But she could not provide any details of the searches, such as whether the properties were owned by the outlaw gangs."Police still have to go through there pretty thoroughly, so it could take a while before they are able to take stock," the spokeswoman said.About the same time as the arrest, police also pulled over and took into custody a man driving a black ute. The spokeswoman said it did not appear that he was linked to outlaw bikie gangs.
