Tairāwhiti Police Arrest Senior Mongrel Mob Member
Tairāwhiti Area Commander Inspector Danny Kirk:
A senior Mongrel Mob member is facing drugs charges in court following two search warrants in the Wairoa area.
The search warrants were executed in the Wairoa township and in Raupunga on Wednesday (30 April), and while they were related to the recent gang tensions, they were not carried out as part of the Gang Conflict Warrant.
The 37-year-old man arrested has been charged with possession of a class C controlled drug for supply, and is due in Gisborne District Court today. Evidence consistent with drug dealing, including drugs and cash was also seized by Police.
An air rifle and air pistol were also located and seized during the searches.
Gang members in the Wairoa area need to start caring about their community and the children and other innocent people who are put at risk by their violent altercations.
Police will continue to work hard on behalf of those members of the community who don’t want this violence in their town, to take a hard line against those whose values don’t align with everyone else’s.
