The Nomads are a large organised criminal gang formed in the Horowhenua Wellington, New Zealand.
History
The Nomads were originally members of the Black Power, known as the "Black Power Nomads", before a large portion of the gang split and formed their own gang in 1977.[1]
In 1997, tensions heated up with the Highway 61 gang and resulted in the murder of Nomad Malcom Munns.[2]
In 2009, Nomads founder and President Dennis Hines died.[3] He is the brother of senior Head Hunters member, William Hines.[3] He was imprisoned on a count of nearly 100 criminal convictions.[4]
The gang had 103 members in prison in 2013.[5]
Paul Rodgers (Porky Rimene) is the Nomad gang boss.[6]
