Three people have been charged with drugs and weapons offences after police swooped on two Melbourne properties linked to the Mongols bikie gang.

Police raided properties in Seabrook and Oakleigh South on Thursday morning, arresting two men and a woman as part of an ongoing Echo Taskforce investigation.

Ammunition, 3D printers, equipment for manufacturing firearms and a small amount of drugs were seized from the Seabrook property, Victoria Police said in a statement.

A stolen motorbike was found at the Oakleigh South property.

All three were charged with perverting the course of justice, while the two men were charged with drugs and weapons offences.

The trio will appear in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday afternoon.
