Killer Beez caught in road crash

A crash involving Killer Beez gang members caused chaos on Auckland’s Southern Motorway yesterday.

Footage taken by a passing motorist showed an injured man lying on the ground and damaged bikes being wheeled off the road.

The gang was holding its annual meeting in Auckland this weekend and about 300 Killer Beez bikies descended on Ramarama, south of Auckland, yesterday.

The crash witness, who didn’t want to be named, said one man had a badly damaged helmet.

“His helmet was peeling off his face, like with hanging plastic pieces.”

The witness said they earlier saw three motorbikes weaving and speeding away from the crash scene, but police did not confirm this.

They said they also saw people scuffling and a commotion, but police did not comment on this either.

A police spokeswoman confirmed that a two-vehicle collision took place at 1.07pm.

“One person was taken to hospital with moderate injuries,” she said.

About half an hour before the crash, police checkpoints were set up close to the Country Inn, Ramarama, where bikers and vehicles carrying the gang members were pulled over.

The gang’s founder and president Josh Masters was among those stopped, riding a quad bike.

Gang members taunted cops as they cruised past yelling, “F*** the police”.

Locals said they were sick of the gang members’ intimidation tactics.

Police said last night most of those who went through the checkpoint were “compliant and vehicles were up to the required standard”.

“Police will continue to monitor the situation across the Auckland region in regard to any further gang activity.”
