Twenty-nine members, aged 18 to 55, were arrested and charged with drug offenses—all now guilty. Led by the National Organised Crime Group and Asset Recovery Unit, the crackdown culminated in August 2024 with nationwide warrants, targeting the gang’s critical role in moving meth and cocaine while laundering cash between major cities. Authorities seized over $1.9 million in assets, including an Auckland property and eleven vehicles. This blow has effectively ended the Comancheros’ operations in Canterbury and severely weakened their influence across the South Island’s drug supply chain.
