TWO more men have been charged following bikie brawls on the Gold Coast in which four police officers were injured.
Police confirmed on Sunday afternoon officers from the Gold Coast Major and Organised Crime Squad and Taskforce Vanguard had arrested two people in relation to one brawl outside a busy restaurant on Friday night.
The two, a 39-year-old from Surfers Paradise and a 25-year-old from Broadbeach, have been charged with affray in relation to the incident.
The men are expected to appear in Southport Magistrates Court on Monday.
Twenty people have now been charged in relation to the brawls, one which happened outside a Broadbeach restaurant and the other outside a police station.
Police expect further arrests and charges to be laid as investigations continue.
Gold Coast police say they will throw the book at every bikie found to have been involved in brawls.
Acting Assistant Commissioner for the southeast region Steve Hollands said 23 detectives were trawling CCTV footage of the two fights on Friday night.
Twenty have already been charged over the tussles - one was outside a Broadbeach restaurant and the other outside the Southport police station.
Chief Superintendent Hollands said police were looking to identify more participants as well as escalate the existing charges.
"They'll be charged and prosecuted to the full extent of the law," he told reporters on the Gold Coast.
However despite a police crackdown on bikies, only one of 28 people arrested overnight was a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang.
That person had been picked up in a car, had been armed with a baseball bat and was a nominee, not a full gang member, the chief superintendent said.
The other arrests were mostly for public order breaches, although one was for carrying a knife and others were for minor drug-related crimes and traffic breaches.
Up to 60 officers from Brisbane have arrived on the Gold Coast and will remain for a week.
In addition a special task force involving up to 50 local uniform police officers has been established to target outlaw motorcycle members.
The operation will also involve plain clothes and specialist police and run for five to six weeks or for as long as needed, Supt Hollands said.
The superintendent said police would discuss with the government the issue of banning people wearing bikie gang colours, particularly at nightclubs.
"We're going after them (bikies) personally, we're going to be after their associates, we'll be looking at their assets (and) we'll also looking at those who are behind the scenes," he said.
