Perth Chapter
The Comanchero’s established a single Western Australian chapter in 2010 which is presently located on Wellman Street, Northbridge at the Fitness and Fight Centre.
The Comanchero’s expansion into Western Australia was delayed by the 2010 arrest of Steve Milenkovski who was about to be patched as the Perth’s Chapter president when he was arrested in the culmination of Operation Baystone. Operation Baystone resulted in Milenkovski, Yavuz Ozan, Hao Bi, and Mark Vick Kitos being charged with various drug offences. The operation seized 7.5 kilograms of methylamphetamine imported into Western Australia from New South Wales.
In August 2012 Milenkovski was found guilty of two counts of Possess a Prohibited Drug with Intent to Sell or Supply after a 9 week Perth District Court trial and faces a long term of imprisonment when sentenced. Two of his co-accused, Paul Da San Martino and David Tanevski, were convicted of one charge each of attempted possession. Hao Bi, who was alleged to have been the courier was acquitted.
In September 2012 Milenkovski was sentenced to 17 years jail as the "king pin" behind the scheme. Co-accused Paul Da San Martino received 9 years and 6 months and David Tanevski was sentenced to eight years' jail, in the District Court of WA.

“Theory may be deliberate, as in a chapter on chemistry, or it may be second nature, as in the immemorial doctrine of ordinary enduring middle-sized physical objects.”
