The Sensible
Sentencing Trust is outraged that yet another prisoner
released on parole is on-the-run and terrifying New Zealand
residence.
“Once again the Parole Board has got it
wrong,” Ruth Money, Spokesperson for the Trust says.
“When are they going to take accountability for allowing
these monsters to return to our streets?”
Police
describe 45-year-old Andre Tipi Rangi Wiremu Schudder as a
‘highly dangerous’ Auckland gang member.
“How
on earth can a ‘highly dangerous’ man be allowed back on
the streets?” Money asks. “This is just another example
of how wrong the Parole Board can get it.”
The
heavily tattooed Mongrel Mob member has been on the run from
the police after he breached his parole conditions. There
are now several warrants for his return to prison. Police
are warning the public not to approach Schudder. Information
on his whereabouts can be given anonymously through
Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111
“Once again the
police and the public will have to mop up another mistake
made by Parole.”
