A shotgun police seized from the Head Hunters during their months-long investigation. Auckland detectives launched a large-scale investigation involving lengthy manhunts and officers from across Tamaki Makaurau, Northland and the National Organised Crime Group. They targeted Head Hunters gang pads in Mt Wellington and Browns Bay and Mongols-linked premises in Silverdale and Murrays Bay. Detective Inspector Kevin McNaughton, of the Waitematā CIB, said 19 people had now been arrested when announcing the conclusion of the operation on Tuesday. McNaughton said seven of those are members or associates of the Mongols, a notorious outlaw motorcycle club headquartered in California, whose Kiwi presence has grown with the arrival of 501 deportees from Australia.
