Mongrel Mob
The Mongrel Mob is an organised street gang based in New Zealand that has a network of more than thirty chapters throughout the country. They are especially active in King Country, Opotiki and Hastings.〔"(Police say Mongrel Mob still criminals )". ''Daily Post'', 14 December 2006.〕 Some of the best known chapters are Mongrel Mob Hastings, Mongrel Mob Porirua and Mongrel Mob Notorious. The Mongrel Mob's main rival is the Black Power gang and there have been several very public and violent clashes between the two gangs over the years.
==History==
The gang began with a group of mainly European youths from Wellington and Hawke's Bay in the 1960s. Legend within the gang holds that the name "Mongrels" originated from the comments of a judge in the Hastings Magistrate's Court, who referred to a group of men before him as "mongrels". However, one original member believes the name arose in Wellington or the Hutt Valley in 1962, while another original believes the name was bestowed by the police in Wellington. Whatever the origin, the group embraced the term. By the late 1960s loose groups of rebellious young men in Wellington and Hawke's Bay were calling themselves Mongrels.
By about 1970 the Mongrels were also known as the Mongrel Mob, and the gang had expanded to include numerous Māori. Members consider Hastings in Hawke's Bay to be the gang's "Fatherland" or birthplace, and the gang first became known for its violence in Hawke's Bay.〔 Later, similarly named groups sprang up around the country, forming their own independent chapters.
In the 2000s and 2010s, the Mongrel Mob is expanding into parts of Australia.
