Police have revealed details of two alleged murder plots linked to Operation Ironside, including a planned hit with a machine gun by the Comancheros bikie gang in a popular Adelaide cafe strip and an "audacious" plan to assassinate someone in a suburban home.
SA Police said the first plot involved members of the Comancheros conspiring to murder a man by "gunning him down" as he left a café on The Parade at Norwood. "The alleged victim was to be lured to a restaurant or café … and was to be gunned down when he left," Assistant Commissioner Peter Harvey said.Police said the plot dated back to November last year, but was foiled only after the conspirators had gone to considerable efforts to go through with the killing.
Police allege the fully-automatic machine gun was hidden in scrubland in the suburb of Rostrevor by Comancheros members.
