Attempted murder charge as bikies raided: "MEMBER of the Comanchero has been charged with the attempted murder of a senior member of a rival gang, and a tattoo parlour linked to the Bandidos has been raided as police respond to a spate of violence involving bikie gangs.

Police insisted there was no war between rival gangs as they carried out raids at a dozen homes and businesses in Sydney's CBD and western suburbs, targeting members of outlaw motorcycle clubs over shootings, firearm offences and tax fraud.

The crackdown follows a spate of shootings across Sydney, including that of Sam Ibrahim, who was struck in both legs outside his parents' home at Merrylands last week.

Three people were arrested yesterday. The gang squad acting Commander, Wayne Hayes, said while the arrests did not relate to the most recent incidents, it was evidence that bikies involved in illegal activities would be caught.

''The public should be concerned there are shootings - I am concerned there are shootings - but we do our job. We plod away and as you can see from this … persons are charged,'' he said.

Among the arrests was a 23-year-old Comanchero member, who has been charged with the attempted murder of Sabre Murad, 24, on the doorstep of his Doonside home in November last year."
