THREE members of the Hells Angels criminal motorcycle gang, including the sergeant-at-arms and the treasurer, have been arrested in Brisbane.
Taskforce Maxima Commander Detective Superintendent Mick Niland says they were arrested along with four others in a major drug trafficking and supply operation in the southeast.
Operation Kilo Advantage started in June 2012 and targeted members of the Hells Angels allegedly involved in the supply, distribution and trafficking of drugs in the Brisbane area.
The operation closed on Wednesday after 22 search warrants across Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich and the Gold Coast.
Eight of the warrants were on premises that police will allege are rented by members of the Hells Angels.
The men are due to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
Detective Superintendent Mick Niland has praised the work of officers.
"This has been a massive operation aimed at disrupting a key facet of the criminal activity undertaken by the Hells Angels, the supply and distribution of drugs across the city," he said.
"Operational activity such as this is just one way the Queensland Police Service is working tirelessly to disrupt, dismantle and eliminate criminal motorcycle gangs from Queensland."
Supt Niland said all the arrests were made without incident.
"We will continue to target them throughout the coming months, if not years," he said.
Deputy Police Commissioner Brett Pointing said the 12-month operation was a major success.
"They are notoriously difficult to get arrests of this nature," he said.
"This is significant.
"Eight people on trafficking is a very, very significant day in police work and three of those being patched members of the Hells Angels is a great start."
He said police were in for the long haul and would do everything they could to eliminate criminal bikie gangs.
