A major police crackdown on the Comancheros motorcycle gang has landed nearly all its members with criminal charges.

A total of 137 charges have been laid and police allege the group has been involved in money laundering, drug trafficking and military-style training.

Detective Superintendent Greg Williams says the police operation focused heavily on those higher up the ranks.

"That's all the leadership of the gang, past patched members - so 41 members out of a total of 92."
