It's a scorching day in December 2022. The heat radiates off the pavement as Aaron Carl Labrook, president of the Rebels Motorcycle Club in Western Australia, makes a catastrophic mistake. With a grin plastered on his face, he cruises in his flashy BMW, blissfully unaware that he's about to bring the entire club to its knees. The police pull him over, and what they find changes everything: a staggering $210,000 in cold, hard cash. This isn't just another bust; this is the beginning of the end for the Rebels. The club’s boss and a high-profile horse trainer have fronted court over a Christmas cash bust, accused of disguising $500,000 as presents. Detectives say WA racing royalty Kelly Kley and Rebel Kyle Le Brook were behind the scheme, and as 9 News explains, their relationship goes much deeper. Ever since this incident, the Rebels have had to deal with betrayal and the possibility of the club crumbling to the ground. Loyalty is everything when it comes to motorcycle clubs, especially to the Rebels. When this is not followed, betrayal can get you booted out, if not killed. What happens when a long-term Rebels leader feels betrayed by his president? Well, that's exactly what happened between Le Brook and Damen Vel, the national president of Rebels MC. This is a story about loyalty and the consequences of betrayal. This is the story of Carl Labrook and how his arrest could easily be the end of the Rebels in Western Australia.
