Child porn charge for WA Comanchero bikie

A patched Comanchero bikie has been charged with a child pornography offence following a search of his home, south of Perth.

The 36-year-old Lakelands man has been charged with using a carriage service to access child pornography and failing to comply with an order to provide information and assistance.

He is due to appear in Mandurah Magistrates Court on December 9.

Australian Federal Police state manager Matt Rippon said the arrest would further disrupt the Comancheros in WA, following the imprisonment of eight high- ranking members and associates in November last year for extortion offences.

The subsequent leadership group was then arrested over a serious assault.

"The community can rest assured that our work to detect and disrupt these organised criminal syndicates will continue to be a top priority for law enforcement," Commander Rippon said.
