Explosive charges against Perth bikie

Explosive charges against Perth bikie "alleged member of the outlaw motorcycle gang Rock Machine has been charged with possessing explosives following a raid on their Perth clubhouse.

The gang crime squad charged the 42-year-old Spearwood man for possessing explosives under suspicious circumstances.

Police raided Rock Machine's Myaree clubhouse in south Perth about 7pm last Friday when officers allegedly seized explosives and detonators.

During the raid more than 50 packets of Powergel explosives were found in a vehicle and 34 explosive detonators were found on a gang member.

Another 34 detonators, a packet of Powergel, a sawn-off shotgun and 19 rounds of .22 calibre ammunition were also seized after being found secreted on the premises.

Rock Machine and rival gang the Rebels have been involved in an ongoing feud that police believe is linked to a drugs turf war."
