Doveton shooting ‘not bikie-related’

POLICE are confident a drive-by shooting at a Doveton house is not bikie-related, despite the resident having links to the Comancheros and Rebels bikie gangs. 

Someone in a silver car fired at the house occupied by a man, woman and child at 12.30am on Monday, June 17. No one was injured. 

The property is allegedly the home of Michael Mantzaris, reportedly bashed in Doveton last year due to suspicions he was a police informer. 

Police said the victim was co-operating.
