Police are continuing to monitor a convoy of about 100 Gypsy Jokers bikies.
They've been trailing the gang since yesterday morning when the bikies left their headquarters in Maddington.
On Saturday night police issued a number of infringements to members of the group, including five for driving under the influence of drugs and two for refusing a test.
Detective Inspector Charlie Carver from the Gang Crime Squad says the team of up to two dozen police will camp overnight near the property where the bikies are staying.
"We're currently at a property that they own out at Westdale, out at Beverley and they're in there for the night or for well who knows, probably for the next day or so,' he said.
"Basically they just go on their merry way and we basically road manage them when they do. So that's the way it works. We've stopped them for drug tests, we've stopped them for random breath tests, we've also checked their vehicles and their motorbikes, we've checked their driver's licenses and we'll continue to do that."

A COLLABORATION between the cities of Armadale and Gosnells and the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale to tackle climate change is achieving positive results, with the three councils collectively saving 45,268 tonnes of greenhouse gases in 2006/07. The results are reported in the latest annual tracking survey of the Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) Australia program, which helps councils to implement greenhouse action.
The program, a joint initiative of the Federal Government and Local Governments for Sustainability, reports each year on the progress of councils in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions and the initiatives they are putting in place to achieve their targets. The three councils are partners in the South East Regional Energy Group and established the award-winning regional environmental project Switch Your Thinking to educate the community about practical greenhouse action.
According to the latest report, the City of Gosnells saved 31,244 tonnes of greenhouse gases in 2006/07. Mayor Olwen Searle said initiatives such as the construction of energy efficient buildings like the Agonis, converting utility vehicles to LPG, purchasing a pool blanket for Leisure World and encouraging recycling had been the key to the result. The Switch Your Thinking program and an initiative to capture and flare methane at the old Kelvin Road tip site had also contributed to the greenhouse savings.
The City of Armadale saved 13,700 tonnes of greenhouse gases in 2006/07 through a range of corporate and community initiatives, including purchasing Green Power for council buildings, installing a new efficient air-conditioning system at the administration building and installing a pool blanket at the Armadale Aquatic Centre.
The council commissioned a solar hybrid wind turbine at the Serpentine-Jarrahdale Recreation Centre in Byford, purchased Green Power for the administration building, installed energy-efficient lighting and computers.
