Jarrod Gilbert: Canterbury University Sociology Professor says the Comancheros crackdown won't be the end of the drug trade

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Tuesdays

Justice is set to be served to nearly every member of the Comancheros motorcycle gang, but that won't be the end of New Zealand's drug trade.   A three year police operation has resulted in 137 charges being laid.   Canterbury University sociology professor Jarrod Gilbert says it's decimated the Comancheros, and sends a message that any high profile organised crime group has a large target on their back.   But he says we can't expect this to significantly disrupt drug trade long term - as supply will just move to meet demand and the void will be filled.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
