Police say further charges may be laid as they continue targeting suspected members of an alleged $10 million, Bandidos-linked cocaine operation.
The ongoing investigation, which began in early 2025, targets a group police believe is responsible for trafficking more than 70 kilograms of cocaine across the region.
Over the past fortnight, officers searched seven properties and two vehicles, charging four men with drug trafficking and criminal group offences - including 34-year-old Bradley Keen, who fronted court on September 3.
The ACT Magistrates Court previously heard the men allegedly have ties to the Bandidos outlaw motorcycle gang (OMCG).
A fifth person was charged after allegedly attempting to smuggle an electronic device containing evidence away from officers during a search.
Two other men, who police allege are members of the group, are currently in custody on unrelated matters and may face charges at a later date.
The fresh charges follow earlier court appearances for co-accused men Adam Ha, 36, Matthew Byrne, 36 and Domenico Luca Costanzo, 31, who appeared in August on drug and weapons charges.
Ha and Byrne remain in custody after being refused bail, while Costanzo and Keen were granted bail under strict conditions.
The overall investigation targeting the alleged $10 million operation has seen officers seize about 4.6 kilograms of cocaine, more than $600,000 in cash, and a modified Glock 19 firearm alongside Tasers, batons, steroids, and knuckle dusters.
Police also confiscated four encrypted communication devices, Bandidos OMCG paraphernalia, and four vehicles.
The officer in charge of the drugs and organised crime team, Detective acting Inspector Mark Battye, said police will continue targeting those involved in the alleged drug distribution network.
"Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs are not harmless groups riding motorcycles," he said.
"They use greed, intimidation and violence to fuel the commercial trafficking of harmful drugs and weapons, making large amounts of money in the process that goes towards more offending.
"Arresting members of the newly formed Canberra Chapter of the Bandidos OMCG is a positive result for all of us, and in the interests of community safety."
