'No hard evidence' of Lost Breed link with Rebels

BN- 'No hard evidence' of Lost Breed link with Rebels Speculation that Nelson motorcycle gang The Lost Breed may be aligned with the Rebels motorcycle gang should be treated with caution, a gang commentator says.

A report in The New Zealand Herald said the recently formed New Zealand branch of the Australian Rebels motorcycle gang possibly had links with The Lost Breed.

A major police raid in the central North Island last week saw 31 arrested and drugs and cash seized from several gangs, including the Rebels.

The Rebels are Australia's largest outlaw motorcycle gang.

Former detective David Haslett, of Christchurch, said he had heard rumours about a link between The Lost Breed and the Rebels but until he saw 'hard, cold, evidence' the gang was affiliated he would treat such commentary as speculation.

'Certainly that's a possibility, but at the end of the day there's a tremendous amount of rumour and conjecture.'

Mr Haslett said there was a certain amount of diplomacy between many clubs and he would need to see evidence of patched members mixing with each other, for example, at each other's events for hard proof the two groups were aligned. Mr Haslett said aligning could mean a number of things, from friendship between club members to deeper connections."
