South Burnett members of the Rebels motorcycle club, friends, associates and club nominees were spoken to by police at the weekend in Kingaroy, Murgon and Nanango.
Senior Sergeant Duane Frank, from Kingaroy Police, said uniformed police and detectives spoke to a number of people in regards to compliance matters.
“Uniformed and plain clothes officers had contact with a number of members of the Rebels and a number of houses and properties were visited in regards to the ongoing Statewide operation against motorcycle gangs,” Snr Sgt Frank said.
No charges were laid.
Earlier this month Police Minister Jack Dempsey appointed Deputy Police Commissioner Brett Pointing to lead a statewide taskforce to target gangs.
On Friday, the Courier-Mail reported that police had been ordered to intercept all bikies to collate intelligence on club activities.
The crackdown on motorcycle clubs follows a large brawl at a Broadbeach restaurant last month which allegedly involved members of the Bandidos club.
