A recent court order gave Police the green light to crush the gold-plated Harley Davidson motorcycles, along with numerous personalised plates, and sell the remains as scrap metal. Commissioner Andrew Coster says the application by Police was under the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act in early 2023 and is the first of its kind. The bikes were seized in April 2019 as part of a major organised crime operation, Operation Nova. Across multiple phases in the investigation, Police honed its efforts into targeting senior leadership figures of the gang and its illegal activities. “At the time Police made numerous arrests, and restrained around $4 million in assets from the gang, which included the six distinctive Harley Davidson motorcycles,” Commissioner Coster says. It’s the first time New Zealand Police has applied to take this sort of action with restrained assets. This month, a former secretary of the Comancheros who was convicted as part of Operation Nova was successfully deported back to Australia. All six bikes were destroyed on Friday and proceeds from any scrap metal sales will go toward the consolidated fund as standard practice.
