Anti-bikie detectives have arrested two men after raiding four homes in Melbourne's southeast.

The second man, believed to be in his 30s, was arrested after a suspected bikie clubhouse was raided in Dandenong.
Heavily armoured police vehicles were parked in the driveway of the Beaconsfield home early Wednesday morning.
The same house was targeted in a drive-by shooting last year.
Police remain at all four locations, with further arrests a possibility.
Last Wednesday, the taskforce arrested four people after searching five properties in the same region.
Two of the men are allegedly linked to a non-fatal shooting in the suburb of Carrum Downs on October 1.
More to come.
