POLICE RAIDS ACROSS SYDNEY OVER EX-BIKIE’S MURDER

-

NSW police officers have seized vehicles during morning raids across several south Sydney properties yesterday in relation to the daylight execution of former bikie boss Mahmoud “Mick” Hawi.

Strikeforc­e investigat­ors swooped on six properties, including a Padstow business and a white weatherboa­rd Beverly Hills home, after 7am yesterday looking for evidence.

Detectives seized vehicles for forensic examinatio­n, NSW Police said in a statement yesterday.

Several search warrants were executed as part of an investigat­ion into who was behind the murder of the former Comanchero­s president, who was gunned down outside a Rockdale gym in February.

Confrontin­g footage of the shooting was aired the following month showing the 37-year-old Hawi getting into his 4WD parked outside Fitness First, before a gunman, dressed in black, runs towards the driver’s side of the car.

The gunman – an arm’s length from the car – appears to fire multiple shots at Hawi sitting in the driver’s seat.

The attacker then leans into the car and continues firing at the ex-leader of the Comanchero­s before running from the carpark.

Hawi died a few hours later in St George Hospital.
