Dramatic footage of the moment two Lone Wolf members were arrested on Friday over the assassination of ex-bikie boss Mick Hawi has been released by police.
Three men have now been charged over their alleged roles in the assassination of ex-Comanchero boss Mahmoud ‘Mick’ Hawi.
Police confirmed those arrested were two members of the Lone Wolf outlaw motorcycle gang and an associate.
Mal Lanyon, commander of the NSW Police State Crime Command, told reporters on Saturday the shooting was sparked by financial reasons linked to the Sydney construction industry.
According to Channel 9, he said: “We will allege there was a financial motive to Mr Hawi’s murder and his death was to prevent further money being paid to Mr Hawi rather than any outlaw motorcycle gang conflict.
The two gang members, aged 37 and 38, were arrested as they left a barber shop in Bexley at 4.15pm on Friday.

The associate, 36, from Brighton Le Sands, was detained at Balmain at 8pm that evening – with all three men due to appear at Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday.
Police will allege the 37-year-old shot Mr Hawi while the 38-year-old planned and coordinated the shooting.
The 36-year-old has been charged with accessory after the fact to murder.
On February 15, 2018, the former Comancheros boss was leaving a gym in Rockdale, in Sydney’s south.
The 37-year-old was brazenly shot in the Fitness First car park while he was in his Mercedes four-wheel drive.
