Police charge another man with murder of Gold Coast bikie Shane Bowden

Queensland police have charged a 10th man with the murder of Gold Coast bikie Shane Bowden.

Mr Bowden, 47, was shot 21 times while he was in the driveway of his Pimpama home on the Gold Coast shortly after midnight in October last year. 

His shooting death came after the Finks bikie member "patched over" to the Mongols in 2013, before rejoining the Finks outlaw motorcycle gang (OMCG) just before he was murdered.

Today a 26-year-old Bellbird Park man, who police allege is a member of the Mongols OMCG, was charged with one count of murder.

His arrest comes after the president of the Brisbane West chapter of the Mongols was charged with murder at the weekend.

The following day, eight more men aged between 23 and 41 were arrested after a series of raids. 

Seven of those men were charged with murder involving serious organised crime, in a move Queensland police said would have "decimated a whole chapter of the Mongols". 

The arrests come amid a major ongoing police investigation named Operation Sierra Arch.

The Bellbird Park man is expected to face the Brisbane Magistrates Court on August 2.
