Queensland Police cotton on to clothing shop launch at former Rebels bikie gang clubhouse A CLOTHING shop launch at a former Rebels clubhouse backfired yesterday after police arrested a man they allege to be a bikie associate. Ben Wilson, 29, was arrested after allegedly walking inside the "12 Gage" clothing shop which had its official shop opening in Thorsborne St, Beenleigh, yesterday. He was arrested under new anti-bikie laws which give police the power to arrest any alleged bikies or associates who step inside premises the Government has listed as "proscribed places." A friend Ashley Metcalfsaid he had enlisted a lawyer and would be fighting the charges. "They could have arrested him when he was giving them a tour of the place yesterday," she said. He's not an associate, we are just a couple of workers. 12 Gage label owner Darryl Cook talks with police at the opening of his store at a former Rebels clubhouse site. Police including Taskforce Maxima officers set up an RBT site to test every motorist for alcohol and drugs as they drove into the street of the former clubhouse. Three people were charged with unlicensed driving and four traffic infringement notices were issued. "One CMG (criminal motorcycle gang) participant was unlicensed," he said. "One has come to our attention so far, an (alleged) CMG participant was inside the prescribed place," he said. Justin Victorsen, who was working at the jumping castle set up at the event for children, told The Courier-Mail he tested positive to a drug test but denied taking any illegal substances. Justin Victorsen was fined after failing a drug test at an RBT set up near the store. He claims he had taken painkillers. "I'm on painkillers,"He said he planned to fight the charge. Clothing label owner Darryl Cook, 42, a member of the Rebels, said one of his employees was arrested after going inside the former clubhouse. He said the police response to his official shop launch was "overkill" and said he was unable to walk into his clothing store because of the new laws. One other member in colours also attended but did not step into the former clubhouse. "I've got a shop opening today," Mr Cook said. I'm doing a fundraiser for the Kidney Foundation. Ashley Metcalf, a friend of arrested man Ben Wilson, said he would fight the charges. "Being a prescribed place under the legislation we wanted to be present to make sure there was no offences being committed," he said. It's to do with the legislation with CMG.
