A Hells Angels bikie is the latest to be charged by Queensland police, following a raid on a Surfers Paradise unit which also netted three others.

Police allege a man was found with a large sum of money on Old Burleigh Road on Sunday afternoon before officers searched a nearby address which contained several other people.

It's alleged they found more cash, a quantity of white crystal and tablets believed to be amphetamine and ecstasy, as well as numerous drug utensils.

As a result, the Hells Angels member, 22, from NSW, has been charged with two counts of possessing a dangerous drug and one count of possessing a utensil or pipe.

A second 22-year-old man from Mundoolun has been charged with two counts of possessing a dangerous drug and one count each of possessing property suspected of being the proceeds of an offence and possessing a utensil or pipe.

A third NSW man, 32, has been charged with one count of possessing a dangerous drug.

All three men are due to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on Monday.

A 17-year-old Regents Park woman has been charged with two counts of possessing a dangerous drug and one count of possessing a utensil or pipe, and she is scheduled to appear in the Southport Magistrates Court on October 30.

The raid follows the arrest and charging of the presidents of the Gold Coast Bandidos and the Mount Isa Rebels gangs on Sunday as part of an ongoing nationwide crackdown on bikies.
