He warned gangs: no questions were currently being asked but after the December 20 deadline, there would be no guarantees.
As we noted earlier, New Zealand’s gangs have let it be known that they have no intention of turning anything in.
Sonny Fatu, president of the Waikato branch of the Mongrel Mob, said that, while some members of the gang may have illegal guns, they will not be handing them in as they are necessary to their protection.
“Will gangs get rid of their weapons? No. Because of who we are, we can’t guarantee our own safety,” he told Stuff.
Still, the police are approaching the gangs, hat in hand apparently, pleading with them to give them their gats.
Earlier this month, Police Commissioner Mike Bush revealed 115 influential gang leaders had been identified and police had spoken to 53 of them about how they were managing the gun amnesty.
It was proving to be fruitless, as the patched members remained “very reluctant”.
