“Head Hunters are running the Black Power and the Mongrel Mob and using them as drug mules”Guthrie

Sensible Sentencing Trust’s Scott Guthrie, has intensified his calls to abolish gangs after Fridays gang related shooting has left one man fighting for his life.

A 35-year-old male victim is in critical condition at Middlemore Hospital after a gang related shooting in Mangere, on Saturday.

Police are searching for Head Hunters gang prospect Billy Matara, warning he may be armed.
"People need to understand if they choose to lead the life of an outlaw, then we will come after them and we will destroy them." Winston Peters.

Guthrie said, “It’s time the government stepped in and strangled these ruthless thugs with a chokehold of no income. Gangs are over populated in the unemployment statistics and live a grandiose life style payed for by the tax payer.”

“Ninety two percent of gang members are either on a benefit or have just come off one or have been in jail. Gangs are being run like businesses with the tax-payer funding their illegal activities.”
Scott is calling on police to step up and start enforcing the law that makes it a crime to participate in an organised criminal group "because that is exactly what these low lives are doing and it’s costing the tax payer millions not to mention innocent people’s lives".
