Closing Down Gang Businesses – Police Minister

Closing Down Gang Businesses – Police Minister

Police and Corrections Minister Judith Collins told TV One’s Q+A programme “that people like the Head Hunters are now running people like the Black Power and the Mongrel Mob so that they actually use a franchise business model.”

“One of the big things for police and other agencies like IRD, for instance, is actually to make the cost of business so expensive for them, particularly the people who are in charge, that it’s just not worth their while,” she said.

Minister Collins also told Michael Parkin that the police are leading the gang strategy and the gang intelligence centre because “92 percent of these gang members are either on a benefit or have just come off one or have been in jail.”
