A senior gang leader from Waikato Mongrel Mob Kingdom has been arrested on distributing methamphetamine charges. Name suppression has been lifted from Mark Anthony Griffiths, or Griff , who was arrested in November. At the time of his arrest Griffiths was a long-standing member of the Waikato Mongrel Mob Kingdom, a gang which has been outspoken about its attempts to change the “gangs are bad” narrative. In recent years they have used the service of a public relations woman, established an all-women chapter, delivered food to people during the Covid-19 lockdown and stood guard at a mosque in Hamilton following the 2019 mosque attacks.
