Gangs

A Blenheim Mongrel Mob member says his five children were pepper-sprayed by police, leaving them screaming in pain and without medical help for more than an hour.

Police investigating the slaying of Wanganui two-year-old Karl Perigo-Check are refusing to how he died.

Six members of the Bandidos biker gang have been found guilty of murdering eight men associated with the gang in the worst mass slayings in Ontario history.

A man is in a critical condition after reportedly having his throat slashed during a gang fight in Papakura tonight.

A day after Housing New Zealand (HNZ) was exposed for handing sensitive information to the Mongrel Mob, it has been revealed police did the same thing.

Wanganui Mayor Michael Laws is hailing the progress of the council's anti-gang patch bill in Parliament and says other councils are looking to follow in the city's footsteps.

The murder of Wanganui toddler Jhia Te Tua should teach every gang member and their families that the gang life destroys people they love, because it is based on petty terrorism, violence and hatred, says the city's mayor, Michael Laws.
