Two men arrested after bikie taskforce raids Melbourne homes

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

Echo Taskforce, created to probe bikie gangs, searched homes in Dandenong, Beaconsfield, Endeavour Hills and Lyndhurst as part of an ongoing investigation.

One of the men was taken into custody from a Beaconsfield address and is being questioned by police.

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.
