Woman charged

The arrest of a woman in Christchurch has added to a growing list of arrests associated with Operation Cobalt, a nationwide crackdown on organised crime. A 25-yearold woman was arrested for conspiring to commit burglaries of several commercial premises in Christchurch. She allegedly conspired with a 36-year-old man, a patched member of the Mongols gang. The woman will appear in the Christchurch District Court tomorrow.
