Major gang drugs raids - crime - national | Stuff.co.nz: "Police made numerous arrests and seized drugs and cash from several gangs, including the Australian Rebels, in a major operation across five districts today.

More than 100 police staff were involved in the raids, targeted at organised crime and methamphetamine.

The raids resulted in numerous arrests and seizures of drugs, cash and other property, police spokeswoman Kim Perks said.

Raids were conducted in Central, Waikato, Auckland, Northland and Bay of Plenty police districts.

One of the property's targeted in Palmerston North was on Featherston St, where at least three large motorbikes were wheeled out of the garage and examined by police before being towed away.

A jogger who passed by the address about 6.30am said the sheer number of police cars outside the property was unusual and caught his attention.

'There were about four vehicles on the corner of Roy and Featherston streets and about three parked further down outside a house. It was strange.'"
