The Mongols clubhouse in Burnham, on the outskirts of Christchurch, was raided by police on Friday morning. On Friday, Detective Senior Sergeant Richard Quested said three men, including at least one patched Mongols member, had been arrested in connection with the shooting. The trio, aged 24, 31 and 39, who were at the Burnham property when it was raided, would appear in the Christchurch District Court on Friday afternoon charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, Quested said. Police were not looking for anyone else in connection with the shooting, he said. The Mongols, led by national president Jim Thacker, established its first New Zealand chapter in the Bay of Plenty in 2019.

More than 100 Mongrel Mob members are descending on Christchurch this weekend, and some of those travelling south posed for photos on the Cook Strait ferry.
The gathering comes in the wake of a double shooting involving Fairmont Wiringi, the son of Mongrel Mob Aotearoa president Joseph “Junior” Wiringi. It is understood some Mongrel Mob members have moved to Christchurch in the last six months, mostly from the Hawkes Bay region. It is unclear whether the move is to bolster membership of existing local rivals Aotearoa or Notorious, or whether members are moving for job opportunities, but it is understood the new arrivals to the city have not caused any issues for police.
