Lone Wolf gang enforcer arrested at Sydney Airport after Bali escape
Senior Lone Wolf bikie arrested for alleged home invasion that hospitalised a man in Lake Macquarie.
Mitchell West, 33, the alleged national sergeant-at-arms of the Lone Wolf motorcycle gang, was arrested at Sydney Airport on Friday morning after landing from Indonesia, where he'd spent 20 months in Bali.
Raptor Squad officers, assisted by the Australian Border Force and Federal Police, met him at the gate. West is accused of a home invasion in Cardiff on February 4, 2025, when three men forced their way into a unit and assaulted a 30-year-old man, leaving him with head injuries.
He's also alleged to have extorted a 57-year-old man in December 2024. Investigators identified him as a fourth offender linked to the home invasion who had fled overseas.
He was charged with five offences, including wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and armed robbery, and refused bail.
