Dylan Gavin Halligan becomes 11th Rock Machine bikie charged over attack on Mongols bikie home in Port Kennedy

An 11th Rock Machine bikie has been charged following what police allege was a “club sanctioned” attack on the home of a Mongols bikie along Sirius Place in Port Kennedy last month. Dylan Gavin Halligan appeared in custody at Rockingham Magistrate’s Court last week charged with criminal damage and destruction of property and acting in a way that endangered the life, health or safety of another. Police prosecutor Sen. Const. Naomi Foster said at 8pm on March 10, Mr Halligan had allegedly been contacted by fellow Rock Machine associates who said “retribution” would be carried out. At 2.45am on March 11, Mr Halligan allegedly joined about 10 others in the attack, in one of three cars that pulled up to the home. Mr Halligan was allegedly armed with a metal baseball bat and used it to damage two vehicles at the property, as well as windows, security screens and the front fence. Two other Rock Machine associates were allegedly armed with guns, which were fired towards the house. Sen. Const. Foster said the intended victim had not been home at the time, but his pregnant wife and his daughter had been. She said they hid in the master bedroom while the attack, which only lasted about 50 seconds, took place. The group of “at least 11” then allegedly took off. Sen. Const. Foster said CCTV had captured the attack in Port Kennedy and CCTV at a petrol station near the Rock Machine clubhouse had also captured Mr Halligan in the same clothes later that morning. Mr Halligan asked to be granted bail, but Sen. Const. Foster said this would be opposed as he had breached bail and other orders multiple times before. She also said there was concerns about “a revenge attack” by the Mongols and advised both Mr Halligan and the community would be safer if he was remanded in custody — a statement Mr Halligan tried to argue was not true. Magistrate Vivian Edwards said she agreed with Sen. Const. Foster, and remanded Mr Halligan in custody to appear via video link on April 30. Mr Halligan’s Instagram account includes pictures with captions such as ‘Support Rock Machine’ and ‘Local gangs are now targeting police’.
