Nga Kete Wananga Solutions founder Matilda Kahotea said she feels police are targeting her due to her family's gang links. Armed police including specialist Operation Cobalt gang staff descended on the rural Dairy Flat property of Nga Kete yesterday morning. "Today's search warrant is part of the ongoing focus of Operation Cobalt targeting and disrupting illegal behaviour being committed by gang members in our communities," he said. "Having gang members sent by the court to effectively what are gang pads, being funded by taxpayers and exposing communities to more danger needs both urgent action and an explanation from the Government."
