The club would set up a third chapter in the Perth suburb of Myaree in mid 2009, by then Rock Machine MC Canada President, Critical J.
The situation truly escalate with the fire bombing of a vehicle belonging to a Full-Patch member of the Rebels Motorcycle Club in October 2010.
15 Full-Patch members of the Rebels Motorcycle Club rode through the Fremantle's entertainment district, looking to provoke an incident with the Rock Machine.
A senior member of Rebels, who was allegedly attacked with a big torch and pepper spray by the Rock Machine, was later acquitted after his actions were proven to be in self defence.
[2] On 29 November 2010, a member of the Rock Machine was charged when police uncovered a large cache of high-powered firearms in his car boot during a traffic stop on Mounts Bay Road in Crawley.
Tactical Response Group officers used an angle grinder to cut through a security gate and threw stun grenades into the building to gain access.
Police stated they were unable to find anything in the raid, but then Rebels president Nick Martin demanded authorities pay for the damage to the clubhouse.
Police said they confiscated enough explosive detonators and industrial-strength power gel to demolish a large building, including some placed in a hidden roof cavity.
Inside the clubhouse, officers found one unit of Powergel, other types of explosives, 34 more detonators, a sawn-off 12-gauge shotgun and 19 rounds of .22 calibre ammunition.
Rebels WA President Nick Martin was the victim of an assassination attempt by the Rock Machine, when he was shot through the elbow out the front of his Perth home.
