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.
