The Mob Reporter here with news on Allan Meehan, facing the fallout from being the ostentatious face of a powerful biker club, including his associate who’s become the first victim of a new law making not unlocking your phone for police a crime. It’s all part of another big push by Australian police against outlaw motorcycle clubs, made the country’s Public Enemy #1, where weeks of raids, arrests and searches have been taking swipes at the bikers.
We know Allan Meehan is an outlaw because it’s tattooed on his neck. He’s the confident, swaggering leader of the Comanchero Motorcycle Club, which has a prodigious presence on the country’s streets. The Aussie underworld has been whispering that Meehan is under threat from rivals, with a heavy price on his head. His own lawyer said Meehan relocated with his family to a new state because of warnings of an underworld bounty. His lawyer said police told Meehan there was a $3 million hit out for him. Police disputed that price tag but not the underlying fact.
The pricey residential suburb of Benowa Waters, where he was arrested on Australia’s beautiful Gold Coast, features pleasant family homes and waterfront mansions. The early morning arrest, as we see here, on Thursday, Feb. 9, 2023, was at a lovely modern rental home in a leafy, sparkling neighborhood. Perhaps most importantly for him, it’s a nine-hour drive away from Sydney, where most of Australia’s fiercest gangland friction happens, and where his face is instantly recognized.
For police, though, his new home’s notable feature is it is in another state, in Queensland, north of his registered address in New South Wales.
Back in his home state, he is under a Serious Crime Prevention Order issued against him in November. An SCPO, as they’re called, is like being released on strict bail conditions without having first faced a criminal charge. It’s a made-in-Australia action against figures deemed to be involved in dangerous, serious crimes to curtail their movement and activities, and allow for proactive police interventions. Police say he shut down his phone and got in a car heading out of state almost immediately after the restrictions were placed on him.
