Operation Trojan Shield involved three major organised crime investigations and targeted the importation, sale and supply of methamphetamine, as well as money-laundering activities. There were still outstanding arrests to be made, National Organised Crime Group director Detective Superintendent Greg Williams said. One of the police operations - dubbed Operation Van - had specifically targeted the trans-national organised crime group linked to the Comancheros. In the past three years, NZ Police had found up to 20 organised crime groups that had been carrying out crime across international borders.
