A BIKIE at the centre of a Robina shooting and also the accused instigator of the Broadbeach riot was expelled from the Bandidos, with club members ordered to “shoot on sight”.

The criminal motorcycle gang banished Jacques Teamo and demanded the immediate return of all club-related items and paraphernalia.

Bikie sources said the club had enough of Teamo’s volatile behaviour, which has been blamed for triggering Queensland’s unprecedented bikie crackdown.

The order to expel Teamo was believed to have come from the highest echelons of the international gang.

Senior Bandidos were reportedly “livid” over Teamo’s involvement in the Robina Town Centre shooting in 2012 in which an innocent bystander was shot, but the final straw was an alleged leading role in a Broadbeach brawl.

The 42-year-old was accused of instigating the wild brawl at a Broadbeach restaurant, leading a “lynch mob’’ of 60 Bandidos bikies which then lay siege to the Southport Police Station.

Despite a massive public backlash

against the Bandidos, the club initially stood by Teamo but as the criminal gangs prepared to challenge the anti-bikie laws in the High Court, it was clear the former bikie had to be “cut loose”, sources said.

Bandido insiders said Teamo, who claimed to suffer post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression, had finally gone “too far”. “He just caused too much trouble. The club is over him. First Robina, then Broadbeach, which would not have happened if it wasn’t for him,” they said.
