HUNT FOR CLUES: Police scour the Finks clubhouse in Junee for more evidence on Tuesday.

POLICE raided a bikie clubhouse in Junee on Tuesday as part of a massive drug bust.

Alleged Finks bikie kingpin Peter Yealland was arrested and more than $100,000 worth of drugs seized during the series of dramatic police raids in Wagga and Junee. 
 

One of the state’s most senior Finks gang members, Yealland has been charged with commercial drug supply after a routine vehicle stop in Forest Hill allegedly uncovered more than half-a-kilo of ice, cash and cocaine.
 

INVESTIGATION BEGINS: Two police continue the search for clues outside the Junee clubhouse of the Finks on Tuesday.

Wagga police pulled over the alleged dealer as part of Operation Safe Arrival just after midnight on Tuesday.
 

The 44-year-old was then taken into police custody and was denied bail in Wagga Court later that day.
 

Officers then turned their attention to the Finks clubhouse in Junee and a home on Hunter Street in Wagga where they allegedly found a loaded gun and significant quantities of ecstasy and MDMA.

Detectives believe they have cracked a drug syndicate that could be largely responsible for the city’s methamphetamine epidemic. 

DEADLY WEAPON: A gun found during Tuesday's drug arrests across the Riverina.

Wagga’s top cop Superintendent Bob Noble described the sting as a milestone victory in the war on drugs, but said the bust was only the beginning.

“We don’t think we’ve got the bulk of it by any stretch of the imagination,” he said. 
 

“Motorcycle gangs are very prominent and there’s an undeniable nexus between them and the supply of illicit drugs.
 

“We will be examining all the linkages from the 44-year-old and all the lines of enquiry that come from these searches.” 

The police chief said more drugs, cash and guns may be hidden away.
