President of Logan chapter of Rebels bikie club and six others charged with more than 50 offences

The president of an outlaw motorcycle gang and six others have been charged with more than 50 offences following the search of a property south of Brisbane.

Police executed a search warrant at a Holloway Road residence at Chambers Flat on Friday, allegedly finding several firearms, evidence of cannabis grow rooms and dismantled amphetamine laboratories.

Michael De-La-Warr, 39, from Victoria Point, a 50-year-old Chambers Flat man and a 35-year-old Brisbane woman have been charged with a combined 31 offences, including possessing and producing dangerous drugs, unlawful possession of weapons and possessing explosives.

Four other men were arrested as part of the operation and charged with drug trafficking, organised crime and weapons offences.

Police will allege Mr De-La-Warr is the president of the Logan chapter of the Rebels Outlaw Motorcycle Club.

He appeared in the Southport Magistrates Court today where he was granted bail on charges of possession of explosives, three counts of possessing dangerous drugs, unlawful possession of a weapon and receiving tainted property.

Magistrate Joan White granted the alleged senior outlaw gang member bail with several conditions, including that he have no contact with the co-accused people in the case — including his girlfriend.

He will live in Crestmead while on bail and must report to police three days a week, not leave the country, and surrender his passport. 

Mr De-La-Warr must also abide by a curfew from 7pm to 6am every day.

His matter will be mentioned in the Beenleigh Magistrates Court again on October 12.

Operation Uniform Neo was initiated after several firearms were allegedly stolen from an Ottaba property in the Somerset region last month.

One kilogram of methylamphetamine, 12 kilograms of cannabis, ammunition, seven firearms and $50,000 of counterfeit money was allegedly located throughout the operation.

The others charged as part of Operation Uniform Neo will appear in court over the next three months.
