Queensland police say they have charged the president of a Brisbane chapter of the Mongols outlaw motorcycle gang (OMCG) with the murder of Gold Coast defector, Finks bikie Shane Bowden.
Shane Bowden died last October after he was shot 21 times in the driveway of his Pimpama home.
Today, specialist police arrested 46-year-old Ian Robert Crowden after searching a residence on Thornton Road in Chuwar, south-west of Brisbane.
Bowden was jailed for six years over the Glitter Strip's wild "ballroom blitz" at Royal Pines Resort in 2006, where three people were shot and two stabbed.
After his release from prison, Bowden "patched over" to the Mongols bikie club in 2013.
All Queensland Finks, except for six members, followed suit to avoid being disbanded under a police launched court action declaring them a criminal organisation.
Just before he was murdered, Bowden had re-joined the Finks.
The police allege, while not the trigger man (I think there was two of them actually) that Crowden counselled, financed and directed the execution.
