A day earlier, police had executed a search warrant on the
cage at Kellyville Ridge, with officers uncovering more than 17 kilograms of
MDA pills, 1.7kg of powder suspected to be cocaine, and more than 67kg of
powders believed to be MDA, assorted pre-curser chemicals, two firearms, a
silencer and ammunition.
An unknown member of the Finks Motorcycle Club
Detective Superintendent Deborah Wallace said the amount of
drugs uncovered was significant.
"That is capable of producing what we would say
conservatively [is] 200,000 individual pills at an estimated street value of $4
million."
Following Mr Klein's arrest, police also seized a revolver,
ammunition, encrypted phones, a hydrogen chloride gas cylinder and various
documents during raids on a unit at the same complex and a home at Beaumont
Hills.

Detective Superintendent Wallace said the raids were part of
ongoing investigations into violent conflicts between outlaw motorcycle gangs
across NSW, and in particular, a dispute between the Finks and the Nomads.
"We are always investigating every crime these criminal
groups and outlaw motorcycle gangs are involved in, but particularly where
we're seeing violent conflicts — when we're seeing the potential of innocent
people being harmed through reckless, ad hoc, random shootings — then we step
it up," she said.
She said police managed conflicts between outlaw motorcycle
gangs by going "straight to the cause of these conflicts which is usually
over turf, money owed [or] drugs".
"So by taking out the catalyst for these disputes is
often a way of resolving them for the community."
She said police would be alleging that, as a senior member
of the Finks, Mr Klein was a "key player" in the drugs distribution
network.
She said police were expecting to make more arrests.
"The bottom line is, if you want to get involved in
these conflicts and violence then we will throw every resource we can at
it."
Mr Klein on Thursday appeared at Blacktown Local Court on
charges of commercial drug supply and 15 firearms offences.
He was refused bail and the matter was adjourned to
Parramatta Local Court on March 22.
