Taranaki Rebels sentenced for 2011 operation by New Zealand Police


Taranaki Rebels sentenced for 2011 operation by New Zealand Police. A number of people were charged as a result of this operation. Sentencing judge Justice Stephen Kos labelled the Rebels' drug-dealing as a Mickey Mouse outfit.


The judge while sentencing also gave the following comment

It was somewhat "grandiose" to describe Dewar as the president of the Taranaki chapter of the Rebels, a gang that had just three members and one motorcycle among them, the judge said.
