Hells Angels father sentenced for meth in a storage locker

New Zealand Stuff is reporting that "A father turned a blind eye when he rented a unit not knowing his son - a patched Hells Angels member - was going to use it to store and then sell nearly half a tonne of methamphetamine."

"That gang member, Brandon Cole, is already serving a sentence of 22 years’ imprisonment for his role."

Evidently, Brandon Cole, the New Zealand Hells Angel was convicted even though the meth had already been sold. 

News Talk reported that "The 32-year-old Whenupai resident pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and to laundering over $950,000, including the cash purchase of a Harley-Davidson Softail Low Rider motorbike."

"Court documents indicate Cole had not exactly been discreet about the financial windfall that followed the importation. In addition to the 2020 model Harley, purchased in September 2021 for at least $31,700 cash, he purchased a Ford Ranger SUV in Cambridge, Waikato in July 2021 for $50,000."

"The previous owner was handed a brown paper bag with five bundles of $10,000 comprised of rolled-up $50 notes, according to the agreed summary of facts for the case. He later changed the vehicle’s plates to read OGBOSS." Loose lips sink ships.

More than $2.4m was found at the storage unit.

Australia’s use of methamphetamine has doubled in a decade

I hate to say it but all this meth is tied to the Five Eyes.
