2Identified gangs Empowered by ss 4, 32
The Gangs Act 2024 includes a schedule that lists 35 identified gangs in New Zealand. These gangs are recognised by the government as part of this law.
The list includes both motorcycle clubs (often called “MC” for short) and other types of gangs. Some examples of motorcycle clubs on the list are Bandidos MC, Hells Angels MC, and Mongols MC. Other gangs mentioned include Black Power, Mongrel Mob, and King Cobra.
This list is important because it helps the government and police know which groups are considered gangs under this law. If you want to know more about what this means for these groups, you can look at section 4 and section 32 of the Gangs Act 2024.
