The longtime friend of a Rebels bikie enforcer has been jailed for stashing military weapons for the club’s boss.
Matthew Robert Bentley, 38, was sentenced in the County Court to a minimum 14 months’ jail after pleading guilty to charges including possessing a trafficable quantity of unregistered firearms. Bentley allowed Matthew Bruce to use his garage to store four guns — including two military-grade weapons — while Bruce tried to sell one of them for $25,000.
Police found an assault rifle inside a guitar case and 406 cartridges for it when they raided Bentley’s Melton South home early on January 29, 2019. A .303 rifle was also uncovered, along with a cutdown .22 rifle and a sawn-off shotgun.
