Mongols Bikie Fugitive “Smokey” Graham Captured After Dramatic Four Day Manhunt

#gridsparta #bikies #mongolsmc In Darwin, the 44-year-old Mongols bikie who escaped from custody at Darwin Local Court has now been arrested after a four-day manhunt that triggered a major police operation and an internal investigation into the security breach. Brandt Graham, known by the nickname "Smokey" for his ability to create thick clouds of smoke while revving and performing burnouts on motorcycles, escaped on Friday while appearing in court on drug and weapons-related charges. Graham was being supervised by private security contractor g-for-s, inside a secure courtroom dock when he climbed out of the enclosure and fled on foot. Witnesses described a chaotic scene as he ran through the Cavenagh Street in Darwin’s CBD while security staff chased after him but were unable to stop him. Police later issued public warnings not to approach him and said they believed he may have been receiving help from associates linked to criminal circles. On Tuesday afternoon, the Fugitive Taskforce located a grey Mazda in the suburb of Gunn and began following the vehicle. Police intercepted it near the intersection of Lakeview Boulevard and Chung Wah Terrace, but Graham fled on foot again before being apprehended by the Dog Operations Unit. The adult male driver of the Mazda was also arrested at the scene. Both men were charged and remain in custody. The Department of Corrections confirmed that a full investigation is underway into how he was able to escape from a secure court environment. Graham has previously attracted police attention in other high-profile incidents. In 2023, dramatic footage captured his arrest at a Hungry Jack’s drive-through in Coolalinga, after officers boxed-in a stolen Toyota Hilux. Specialist police units used a taser, OC spray and beanbag rounds during that arrest, and investigators later said they found a shotgun, a crossbow, knives and drug-related items in the vehicle. Authorities have not yet announced the specific new charges Graham will face following Tuesday’s arrest, but police say further details are expected once the charges are formally laid.
