A confrontation occurred between members of the Mongol MC and the Greazy Dogs MC at a Mount Maunganui McDonald’s on June 21, 2023. The incident began around 9:30 a.m. when members of the Mongol MC were seen wearing their gang patches and clothing, which led to tensions with rival gang members. CCTV footage captured two white utes leaving the McDonald’s in convoy and encountering another ute driving against traffic, causing a standoff. Following this, several men exited the vehicles and a fight broke out, resulting in a significant disruption on Maunganui Rd.
