A dangerous Mongols gang member is wanted by Canterbury police.

Police say they have a significant number of warrants to arrest 26-year-old Brodie Collins-Haskins for alleged crimes including assault, possession of illegal firearms and supplying methamphetamine.

Over the last two weeks police has arrested five people linked to this organised crime group in relation to serious drug dealing, firearms and money laundering offences.

Brodie is considered to be dangerous and should not be approached.

If you see him then please call 111 immediately.

He has connections throughout New Zealand including in Auckland, Bay of Plenty and Christchurch.

His search warrants follows more than 100 police search warrants across the country, where officers seized nearly 50 firearms, and arrested more than 90 people over the period of Alert Levels 3 and 4, cracking down on organised crime.

“New Zealand Police continues to hold organised criminals accountable even through this challenging time,” says Detective Superintendent Greg Williams, National Manager: National Organised Crime Group.

“The illicit activities these groups take part in cause immeasurable harm in our communities.”

“Since March 26, when New Zealand went into Alert Level 4, operations to dismantle organised crime groups operating in our cities and town have continued.”

The search warrants executed have resulted in 93 arrests on more than 250 charges. Police have seized 43 firearms, 25kg of methamphetamine, 30kg of cannabis, and small amounts of cocaine, MDMA, GBL, and LSD.

There were 14 clandestine labs located and a substantial amount of chemicals and equipment relating to methamphetamine manufacture seized, along with more than $1.2 million in cash.

Gangs targeted include Comancheros, Mongrel Mob, Black Power, Nomads, Headhunters, Rebels, King Cobras, Tribesmen, and Mongols.

Charges laid relate mainly to the manufacture and supply of methamphetamine, supply of cannabis and MDMA, possession of firearms and ammunition, and breaching court bail.

The most recent major operation – Operation Nestegg on Friday resulted in five arrests, hundreds of thousands in cash, methamphetamine and rifles seized following search warrants in Auckland and Tokoroa.

Over $4.4 million has been forfeited, most of which related to drug crime. 

In addition over $2 million has been restrained and will be subject to further investigation.
