Turf wars expected as gang sets up - Newstalk ZB

Turf wars expected as gang sets up - Newstalk ZB: "Rival gangs could be drawn into turf wars as the Australia Rebels seek to gain a foothold in New Zealand.

The Rebels Motorcycle Club is moving in on the Tribesmen and Canterbury University gang researcher, Jarrod Gilbert, says there's probably little authorities can do to stop them.'There maybe some territorial conflict if the rebels choose to expand quickly, as they did in Australia and step on other gangs' toes.'

He says the Rebels have already been here for some time, but doesn't see any reason to be alarmist about the gang. While gangs and the underworld are closely related he says it's often only a few members who are involved in crime."
