NZ acts tough on gangs,organised crime

New Zealand Police Minister Poto Williams said on Friday that the country is continuing its relentless crackdown on gangs and organized crime.

The government has never been more active in cracking down on gangs and organized crime, and getting gang leaders off our streets, Williams said in a statement.

The success of Operation Tauwhiro shows the impact the government’s record investment in police continues to have, the Minister said, adding there are 700 additional officers alone to be focused on organized crime, reports Xinhua news agency.

Gangs destroy lives, but we will not let them destroy communities, Williams said, adding Operation Tauwhiro will continue to disrupt and prevent firearm-related violence by criminal gangs and organized crime groups.
