Many of the worst offenders are from the Australian chapters of the Comanchero, Rebels and Bandidos gangs.

The bikies have become well-known in their new environments as the 501s, Herald Sun reported.
The title stems from section 501 of the Migration Act that allows the government to turf people from the country if they fail certain character provisions.
Among the list of deportees and troublemakers is NZ Comancheros chapter president and Australian exile Pasilika Naufahu.
Naufahu, Tyson Daniels, Jarome Fonau and Connor Michael Tamati Clausen were arrested following a raid of $4million worth of luxury vehicles, homes and cash in Auckland in 2019.
The gang was allegedly planning to bring methamphetamine and ephedrine into New Zealand.

Former senior Melbourne Comanchero Norm Meyer has been living in New Zealand and it is expected his son Vincent will be deported to the country after serving an 18 month sentence for breaking a Comanchero’s arm.
Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton revoked the visa of Victorian President of the Rebels OMCG Ray Elise for his criminal history, while Canberra Comanchero sergeant-at-arms Sosefo Tu’uta Katoa could be deported over bomb charges.
New Zealand Police Association president Chris Cahill raised concerns many of the bikies sent to New Zealand had spent their lives in Australia and had few ties to the country.
‘The only links they’ve got (here) are straight back into gangs. The public are now seeing the problems they’re causing,’ he said.
Senior New Zealand OMCG cop Ray Sunkel said the foreign bikies had distinguished themselves from the New Zealand chapters through displays of intense violence.

‘Don’t look at us, mate, that’s the Aussies, that’s not what we do, you know that,’ Mr Sunkel recalled local gang members telling him.
