Deadly copper wires were found set up at neck height across a popular dirt bike track on the Gold Coast.'

This comes after a similar incident in Gympie, in which a dirt bike rider was knocked off his bike by a high-tensile wire.

The wires were found on Sunday night in Upper Coomera by four men, who came back the next day to remove any hazards they had missed. The track is on private property, but has long been popular with dirt bikers and four-wheel drivers.
