$14.8 Million Seized | How Police Dismantled New Zealand's Most Powerful Motorcycle Gang

$14.8 Million Seized | How Police Dismantled New Zealand's Most Powerful Motorcycle Gang. Wayne Doyle was identified by New Zealand Police as President of the Head Hunters, one of the country’s most recognised motorcycle gangs. This New Zealand true crime documentary looks at the Wayne Doyle case, the Head Hunters East Chapter, Operation Coin, the Mt Wellington gang pad, and the High Court forfeiture order that took $14.8 million in assets from the gang’s reach. The case centred on property and money linked to the Head Hunters East Chapter, including the headquarters at 232 Marua Road in Mt Wellington, around $275,000 in cash, other Auckland properties, bank funds and a vehicle. Operation Coin began years before the final court decision. Police restrained major assets in 2017, then built a long asset recovery case under the Criminal Proceeds Recovery Act. The High Court ruling in 2024 gave the Crown control of assets worth $14.8 million. This report explains how New Zealand Police used asset recovery law against one of the country’s most established gangs, why the Mt Wellington gang pad mattered, and what the Wayne Doyle case says about New Zealand’s wider crackdown on organised crime. This story also connects to Australian and New Zealand true crime because motorcycle gang culture, organised crime money, drug offending, property control and gang influence remain major issues across both countries. This video is made for documentary discussion, news reporting and public safety awareness.
