SPECIALIST police, including officers from Strike Force Raptor, are investigating a bomb threat to a tattoo parlour at Dee Why owned by the Finks motorcycle gang.



Sturdee Pde was blocked for several hours while police bomb disposal unit officers examined the package and later removed it for forensic examination.

It is not yet known if the suspected bomb was genuine or an elaborate hoax.

Northern Beaches duty officer Insp Sam Bartlett said workers at the tattoo parlour in Sturdee Rd opened a small padded enveloped that was in the parlour’s letterbox and saw wires and a battery.

They immediately called the police, who alerted firefighters, paramedics and the police bomb squad.

He said businesses and homes within a 100m radius were evacuated while the bomb squad examined the package.

“An investigation into the package was conducted by the bomb disposal unit and it was rendered safe,” Insp Bartlett said.

“The package has been retained for forensic investigation.

“The bomb disposal unit is still investigating if it was genuine or an elaborate hoax.”

He said the police had not received any previous reports of trouble relating to the parlour.

Strike Force Raptor was established by the State Crime Command’s gangs squad to target outlaw motorcycle gangs.

A GANG of bikies was paid by Robert Geeves to abduct and kill his intellectually impaired 19-year-old lover so he could keep their baby.

A GANG of bikies was paid by Robert Geeves to abduct and kill his intellectually impaired 19-year-old lover so he could keep their baby.

Her body was chopped up, frozen and buried, a Sydney inquest heard yesterday.

Joel McCorkindale told the court through a video link that an acquaintance of his, Podje, told him of the murder of Amber Haigh, and was convinced by family members to come forward to police last year. "I didn't want to hear it," he said.

Counsel assisting the coroner Peter Hamill SC read excerpts of Mr McCorkindale's statement.

"Podje told me they got one of the people to cut her throat," he read from the statement.

"One of the bikies grabbed her, cut her and put her in the freezer.

"Robert Geeves paid money to kill her so he could keep his son."

Mr Geeves sat on his own in the courtroom presided over by Deputy State Coroner Scott Mitchell with a vacant expression on his face, as the gruesome accusations were read out.

The inquest has heard that police and the Haigh family believe that Amber, who lived with Mr Geeves and his wife before her disappearance, was being used as a surrogate to give the married couple a child.

Mr McCorkindale said earlier he had been told that Haigh was buried under a lemon tree on Mr Geeves' property near Young in southern NSW.

Several community health officials who had come into contact with Haigh proceeded to tell the court she was a "vulnerable teenager".
