A senior \ufeffgang member has been shot and left for dead outside a Perth hospital, with police believing someone also tried to burn off his gang-related tattoos.<\/p>\n

Police believe it was Leslie Grantham's attempt to leave the Comanchero Motorcycle Gang that prompted his comrades to unleash the horrifying attack.<\/p>\n

Detective Senior Sergeant Anthony Thompson said the 51-year-old was found collapsed outside the Rockingham Emergency Department at 9.55pm yesterday with gunshot wounds and burns to his legs.<\/p>\n

Police released graphic images showing the extent of Grantham's burns in a bid to demonstrate the consequences for anyone "thinking of joining an outlaw motorcycle gang".<\/p>\n

"Think again," Thompson said.<\/p>\n

"This person has now been left with life-changing injuries and this is solely because he was a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang."<\/p>\n

Thompson confirmed the man was a "very well-known" senior member of the \ufeffComancheros.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffThis is another timely reminder that the outlaw motorcycle gang community is dangerous and harmful," Thompson said.<\/p>\n

"They are\ufeff violent criminal gangs who cause significant harm to our community."<\/p>\n

Grantham had gunshot wounds to his upper body and legs.<\/p>\n

"We believe he was dropped off and just left there … which is a rather callous to deal with someone with life-threatening injuries, and further demonstrates the nature of these people and how they regard human life\ufeff," Thompson said.<\/p>\n

Thompson said it was a targeted attack and there is no ongoing risk to the community.<\/p>\n

However, police will be monitoring bikie gangs closely over the next few days. \ufeff<\/p>\n

Grantham was transported to Royal Perth Hospital in a critical but stable condition.<\/p>\n
