Five individuals associated with the Head Hunters Motorcycle Club are under arrest on charges related to methamphetamine, following a recent Police operation.

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, law enforcement executed search warrants aimed at dismantling an alleged methamphetamine distribution network linked to members and affiliates of the North Shore chapter of the motorcycle gang.

Dubbed "Operation Salmon," the crackdown involved seven simultaneous raids conducted across Auckland and Northland, including the gang's headquarters situated in Wairau Valley.

Detective Inspector Albie Alexander, representing the National Organised Crime Group, revealed that tactical support units aided investigators during the operation.

"Without incident, five suspects were apprehended from various locations," Inspector Alexander disclosed.

"Based on evidence gathered during Operation Salmon, these individuals are now facing charges of possessing methamphetamine with intent to supply."

Inspector Alexander emphasised that the investigation remains ongoing, with the possibility of additional arrests looming.

"In the course of our inquiries, significant evidence was seized from all seven locations," he stated.

"This includes approximately $80,000 in cash, a small cache of firearm ammunition, and a quantity of cannabis."

Highlighting the Police's unwavering commitment to tackling organised crime, Inspector Alexander affirmed, "Combatting illegal activities perpetrated by such groups remains a top priority, given the detrimental impact on our communities."

He assured the public that law enforcement efforts to disrupt and prosecute criminal enterprises would persist.

Presently, five men, ranging in age from 18 to 57 years old, are awaiting proceedings at the North Shore District Court in connection with these charges.
