Queensland Police Union secretary Mick Barnes said last night’s arrest was a “major breakthrough” following two months of police investigations into a series of break and enters, ram raids and armed robberies by a group of criminals, known as Operation Kilo Perpetual.

Two of the alleged gang members were initially found by two off-duty police officers last night while they were driving to work.

The officers notified police before following the men to a house on Zillmere Rd.

“The police waited for back-up and assumed positions at the intersection of Zillmere Rd and Ridgmont St,” Mr Barnes said.

He said the men picked up two others at the address then the four men tried to escape a police barricade by driving up onto the footpath where an officer was standing.
