Senior Police are pleading with the relatives of members and associates of the Finks and Nomads bikie gangs in the Hunter to help them end the long-running turf war.
It follows the arrest of 13 bikie gang members during dawn raids on 31 homes across the region yesterday where weapons, drugs and a python were seized.
The men aged from 19 to 55 have been granted strict conditional bail to face court in coming weeks.
Detective Superintendent Deb Wallace is urging the loved ones of bikie gang members to speak up before someone is seriously injured or killed.
"Mothers, fathers, cousins, grandparents or anyone else that's related to these people, because not only is the conflict now between Nomads and Finks, it's now impacting on community members (and) family members, so innocent people are now getting caught up in this.
