Comanchero Allan Meehan arrives in Sydney after being arrested

Comancheros chief Allan Meehan was escorted through Sydney airport with a mob of police after he was allegedly on the run from police for two months.

Meehan, known as the ‘bathrobe bikie’ for his love of wearing designer robes, was arrested at a house in Benowa Waters on Thursday after the 35-year-old told a court he fled New Wales from South due to a ‘$3 million blow to his head’, The Daily Telegraph reported.

Detective Superintendent Grant Taylor would not confirm the alleged bounty on Meehan’s head, but did say that police often informed gang members of the “risks” associated with them.

“We constantly interact with outlaw motorcycle gang members when we deem it necessary to determine that we should notify them of a particular risk,” he said.

‘Let me make it very clear, being a member of the outlaw motorcycle gang is a risk in itself.

Everyone knows that every day of their lives.

“To be the national president of one of the largest outlaw motorcycle groups in this country, you’re jumping on any kind of potential issue.”

Superintendent Taylor said police would “stand firm” with their case alleging the motorcycle boss fled New South Wales to escape a Serious Crime Prevention Order (SCPO).

Comanchero boss Allan Meehan (pictured with his wife Elise), known as the ‘bathrobe bikie’ for his love of wearing designer robes, was given ‘some of the strictest orders ever placed on a person in New South Wales’.

“Almost immediately after that order was struck down in the High Court, his phone was turned off and he was in a car headed for Queensland,” he said.

‘The criminal group squad has been targeting the activities of the outlaw biker group Comanchero.

“As part of this investigation, it was considered necessary to request an order to prevent serious crimes against the national president of that gang from the Supreme Court of Justice.”

Meehan was arrested at a house in Benowa Waters on the Gold Coast on Thursday after the 35-year-old told a court he fled New South Wales due to a “$3 million blow to the head”.

The order was granted on November 21, 2022, and took effect shortly after that date.

Police allege Meehan violated that order four times in connection with where he resides and his use of encrypted communication apps.

They allege that Meehan fled Sydney “almost immediately” after that order was made and headed for Queensland.

Meehan had been living with “some of the strictest orders ever placed on a person in New South Wales”.

The order stipulated that Meehan had to live at a designated address, understood to be in the Southern Highlands, southwest of Sydney, and had to notify the police at least 24 hours in advance if he intended to pass the night elsewhere.

The order also restricted Meehan’s possession of firearms, the cars he drives and who he associates with.

It also put their phones, computers and every other device, aside from their bank accounts, under serious scrutiny.

In addition, it prohibited Meehan from using an alias, changing her address without notice, and restricted her use of phones, emails, and online accounts.

He was not allowed to have more than $10,000 in cash at any one time or wear his Comanchero club ‘colors’ or gang logo patches.

Police allege Meehan fled Sydney ‘almost immediately’ after a felony prevention order was issued at the High Court and headed for Queensland.

Police executed two search warrants at two properties in Haymarket and Greystanes allegedly linked to associates of the Comanchero motorcycle gang.

A 33-year-old man was arrested for crimes such as money laundering, drugs, breach of court orders and perversion of the course of justice.

The crime group squad is closely watching all of the nation’s outlaw biker gang presidents and determining whether their activities warrant a felony prevention order.

“We have a powerful set of laws at our disposal and we will use that legislation to fight organized crime when necessary,” Superintendent Taylor said.

Police used the new digital access warrant legislation to arrest the 33-year-old Greystanes man.

The legislation empowers the police to compel people to allow access to their communication devices.
