Gang pad raided

Police investigating three serious assaults in Christchurch say more arrests are likely after yesterday’s raid on the King Cobras gang pad. Police raided several addresses linked to the gang yesterday — including their “pad”, known as the Snake Pit Boxing Gym, in Middleton. Three men are now facing charges of assault and participating in an organised criminal group. A police spokesman said the assaults on members of the public took place outside a bar on Victoria St.
