A senior member of the Comanchero bikie gang was dumped outside a hospital with gun shot wounds and burns to his legs from people who allegedly tried to remove his tattoos.
The 51-year old outlaw motorcycle gang member was located outside the Rockingham Hospital, in Perth’s south, about 10pm on Thursday with multiple gun shot wounds to his upper body and leg, as well as burns, police said.
Detectives are now trying to identify the culprits who left the senior member for dead outside the emergency department.
Detective Senior Sergeant Anthony Thompson told media police believed the man was dropped off and left there.
“(It) is a rather callous way to deal with someone with life-threatening injuries,” he said.
“This is a targeted attack and there is no ongoing risk to the public.
“We will be monitoring outlaw motorcycle gangs hard over the next few days to ensure that the community is safe.”
The senior sergeant said the man was well known to police and had been left with life-changing injuries.
“He’s got burns to his legs, and we suspect that’s a product of other people trying to remove his tattoos,” he alleged.
“He was a patch member, and he was a senior member, and he held a position of authority within that club.
“If you’re thinking about joining an outlaw motorcycle gang, think again, this person has now been left with life-changing injuries … solely because he was a member.”
