Meth Making Gangs Costing Tax Payers Millions

14th April 2016

"This is a serious problem not just for police, but for the local community as a whole. These children were of various ages and had been living in houses where the drug P was being used and dealt”. Detective Sargent Kevin Ford New Zealand Police.

Sensible Sentencing Trust’s Manawatu spokesperson Scott Guthrie is calling on the government to step up and start helping the helpless defenceless children of Black Power and Mongrel Mob gang members forced to live in their parents P manufacturing houses.

Scott’s call comes after Wednesday’s East Coast Gang pad Police raid netting drugs and assets valued at 3.8 million dollars.

Those arrested included once again patched Black Power and Mongrel Mob members and several others with strong family ties to the gangs.

It was only November 2015 that Paul Christopher Laxon, the South Island president of Mongrel Mob Notorious, was the "ringleader" of the highly organised drug trafficking and distribution network involving hundreds of thousands of dollars of methamphetamine and his own children trafficking it for him but only received 8 years imprisonment and eligible for Parole in 4 short years.

“This is a pathetic sentence for a repeated drug manufacturing offender and clearly shows our judiciary and legal system is pandering to these criminals”.

“Unless our politicians step up and give the police a directive including the tools and resources to abolish gangs and gang pads over time New Zealand’s drug problem is only going to increase.”

“The children of these drugged up thugs will soon be following in their parents footsteps and becoming a burden of society”.
