A bikie boss will be extradited to NSW following his arrest in Queensland, while a Sydney outlaw motorcycle gang associate has become the first person charged under organised crime laws targeting encrypted devices.
A 35-year-old man named by media outlets as Comanchero leader Allan Meehan was taken into custody by Gold Coast task force detectives and National Anti-Gangs Squad officers at Benowa Waters on Thursday evening.
He appeared in court where NSW police were granted authority for his extradition and he is expected to be escorted to Sydney on Friday.
