Police have charged the entire senior hierarchy of the Mongols gang in New Zealand with multiple charges after a significant organised crime operation in the Bay of Plenty.

National organised crime group Detective Superintendent Greg Williams said there are at least 228 charges including money laundering, supplying meth, cocaine and possession of firearms and explosives.

They have recovered 28 fire arms, including AK47, AR15, a number of shotguns and pistols and a homemade bomb.

Williams says this operation today gives a clear message that the anti-social behaviour of this gang will not be tolerated in New Zealand.

Since January 2020, there have been six shootings involving the Mongols and rival gangs.
