Four more men have been charged in an investigation into an alleged criminal group linked to the newly formed Canberra chapter of the Bandidos outlaw motorcycle gang.
Police allege the group has trafficked more than 70 kilograms of cocaine worth more than $10 million since early 2025.
The latest charges follow the arrests of three men in late August, when police seized suspected drugs, about $500,000 cash, firearms and other property during searches across Canberra.
In the past two weeks, police have searched seven premises and two vehicles, charging four more men with drug trafficking and participating in a criminal group offences.
Another person was charged after allegedly attempting to remove an electronic device containing evidence during one of the searches.
Across the investigation, police say they have seized about 4.6 kilograms of cocaine, more than $600,000 cash, a modified Glock 19 firearm, four encrypted communication devices and Bandidos paraphernalia.
Four vehicles and other valuable property have also been seized as alleged proceeds of crime, along with steroids, batons, tasers and knuckle dusters.
Two other men police allege are members of the group are in custody over unrelated offences and may face charges as the investigation continues.
Anyone with information about drug distribution in the ACT is urged to contact police via the Crime Stoppers ACT website.
