Background
From the Evening Post Sep 14, 1996
Four youths have admitted kicking and punching a 13-year-old boy, leaving him in hospital for three days and with few memories of the assault. Linton Kairon Green, 18, unemployed of Titahi Bay, pleaded guilty in Wellington District Court on Wednesday to assaulting the 13-year- old boy with a beer bottle and assaulting the boy with intent to injure him. Tato Junior Tato, 19, unemployed of Waitangirua, Dallas Markley Clarke, 18, unemployed of Waitangirua, and Mack Charles Hunt, 19, unemployed of Titahi Bay, also pleaded guilty to assaulting the boy with intent to injure him. Judge Anthony Willy remanded them on bail to October 20 for sentence.

Police prosecutor Senior Sergeant Ken McLeod said Green, Tato, Clarke and Hunt were in the carpark of a Johnsonville supermarket about 11pm on August 10, after walking there from a nearby party. The 13-year-old victim was escorting a 15-year-old girl to a taxi stand when the four youths surrounded him. Mr McLeod said the girl ran away while Green and the others began to punch and kick the victim. The boy fell to the ground and Green continued to assault him. Mr McLeod said that when the boy tried to get up, Green smashed a beer bottle over his head. The four youths then ran off. The victim was found a short time later, staggering down a road holding his bloody head in his hands. He was hospitalised for three days with cuts and bruising, and was unable to remember details of what had happened to him. Judge Willy said the boy was lucky to be alive after such a vicious assault.

From the Evening Post Sep 27, 2000
A Porirua Mongrel Mob member was sentenced to two months periodic detention in Porirua District Court on Monday for the robbery of a service station in Waitangirua earlier this month. Linton Kairon Green, 22, unemployed, of Titahi Bay, pleaded guilty to the robbery charge and was ordered to pay $16 reparations. Green stole a packet of cigarettes and two mince pies from Shell Waitangirua on Commerce Cres - one of several incidents between the gang and service station in early September. An attendant was left bloodied and bruised after a beating and another was threatened with violence, leaving him fearing reprisals and refusing to return to work. Two other junior gang members will face theft, assault and intimidation charges in Porirua District Court next month in relation with the incidents. Senior members of the Mongrel Mob and Shell management have since made their peace after relations between the two neighbours became chilled.
