Raptor officers have charged a high-ranking member of an
Outlaw Motorcycle Gang following investigations into an
alleged road-rage incident at Kingswood in February.
Police charged a 26-year-old man on Friday 15 April, 2011
following investigations into the offence. The man is
allegedly a high-ranking member of the Nomads OMCG.
He was charged with affray, armed with intent to commit
indictable offence, use intimidation/ violence to unlawfully
influence, and destroy or damage property.
He will remain in custody to appear at Penrith Local Court

The charges relate to an alleged road-rage incident that
occurred on 7 February this year in which a near-crash
occurred between a vehicle on the Northern Road at Kingswood
which was being driven by a 37-year-old man, and a vehicle
containing two men including the 26-year-old.
The 26-year-old then allegedly overtook the other car,
striking the 37-year-old’s vehicle with a crow bar. The
26-year-old man and his driver, who were both armed with
weapons, then exited the car and allegedly threatened the
37-year-old man before he fled the scene in his vehicle.

and Strike Force Raptor and was established to investigate
the several incidents.
