Rebels MC captain Robin Edwards menacingly assured his victim that failure to pay the price for wearing a rival’s colours on their patch would result in violence or even death.

“Don’t be a smart c..t,” Edwards told his target.

“I will take you and shoot you and you won’t be seen again.”

Edwards appeared before Judge Justin Marinovich in the Whanganui District Court on Monday for sentencing on a charge of non-aggravated robbery, by threats.

He pleaded guilty to the charge, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment, after receiving a sentencing indication in April.

The police say Edwards went to the man’s Marton home in September 2021 and advised him he’d been seen wearing clothing with the Support 81 brand, associated with the Hells Angels.
