To some more crime news now and a 27-year-old man will appear before the courts today, charged with grievous bodily harm over the alleged attack on another man near Geraldton. On Wednesday night, police found a 43-year-old man lying on the ground on Durlacher Street with a serious head injury. He was conveyed to Geraldton Regional Hospital via St John Ambulance and was then airlifted to Royal Perth Hospital for further treatment.
WA Police alleged that around 10.15pm, two men left a licensed premise on Marine Terrace and were walking along Durlacher Street, when they were approached by another two men, also previously at the same venue. The 27-year-old and 43-year-old then allegedly got into an altercation, leaving the older man with serious injuries.
A number of police resources were deployed to the area and two men were taken into custody on the Brand Highway near Jurien Bay. The second man, aged 24, has since been released pending further enquiries. Fifteen WA men, including the alleged president of the Hells Angels Outlaw Motorcycle Gang, have been charged by federal police, after more than $4.
37 million of suspected illicit assets, four firearms and almost 19 kilograms of illicit drugs were seized. Operation Kraken has been running since March, and has resulted in 15 men in the state being charged, in a global take-down of the encrypted communications platform named Ghost. The AFP started targeting Ghost in 2022.
