‘Coppers are going to die today’: Chilling text message allegedly sent by tattooed bikie

A tattooed ex-bikie boss nicknamed ‘Kaos’ allegedly sent a threatening text message claiming police officers would be killed before being arrested at an Airbnb property. 

Brett Pechey, 34, was tracked down to a short-term rental in Belmont, east Perth, and heavily armed officers surrounded the property on Friday morning.  

Police swooped on Pechey after he allegedly sent a message reading ‘coppers are going to die today’ with a picture of a shotgun. 

Pechey, who is known to have had connections to the West End Bandidos gang and Brothers 4 Life, was arrested alongside his alleged associate Adam Iustini. 

Police say they found a shotgun in a white Holden Commodore that Mr Iustini was driving down the road from the raided property, The West Australian reported.

Pechey was tracked down with the help of drones and house-to-house searches before police established a road block on Frederick Street just after 11.30am. 

Officers used a loud speaker to demand Pechey come out of the house and he reportedly gave himself up without a fight.  

The former Bandidos boss appeared in Northbridge Magistrates Court on charges including threats to kill, aggravated possession of a weapon and breaching a police order.  

Neither Pechey or Iustini applied for bail on Saturday and are both set to face court again in the coming days.

Th ex-bikie boss failed to show up to Southport Magistrate’s Court on charges including serious assault of a police officer and committing a public nuisance.

A Queensland Police spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia that Pechey has outstanding charges in Queensland but police are not seeking his extradition.
