‘Puppy farm, bootleg booze ring’ shut down in Bandidos raid

A Bandidos bikie clubhouse has been dismantled, where police shut down an alleged illegal puppy farm and a bootleg booze ring.

The feared police unit responsible for disrupting gang activity, Strike Force Raptor, raided the outlaw motorcycle gang clubhouse at Belgravia Road, Molong, in the state's Central West yesterday morning.

Inside the bikie stronghold, police found a mural of Ned Kelly in a motorocylce vest with Bandidos patches next to a sign saying "expect no mercy", cupcakes decorated with a skull in club colours, and a motorbike helmet emblazoned with the phrase "jail fund" across the visor.

Outside, a fire drum was stencilled with the "Bandidos OC" logo.
