Hells Angels member Cooper Gavellas charged in NSW Police crackdown

·

Hells Angels member Cooper Gavellas is among a dozen men charged following a sweeping NSW Police crackdown targeting the outlaw motorcycle gang.

Raptor Squad officers arrested the 28-year-old at Burwood Police Station as part of Strike Force Benson, which focused on alleged breaches of consorting warnings issued to Hells Angels members and associates.

Police allege the men continued to associate with convicted offenders despite formal warnings, including during national runs and the gang’s 50th anniversary celebrations.

The warnings were issued after the Hells Angels allegedly seized control of the Gladiator clubhouse in the Hunter during a violent “hostile takeover”.

Gavellas was charged with habitually consorting with convicted offenders after warning. He was granted conditional bail and is due to appear at Burwood Local Court on January 22, 2026.

In total, 12 Hells Angels OMCG members and associates were arrested during raids on homes and luxury apartments across NSW, with all facing court on various dates in early 2026.
