A 37-year-old patched Mongol will appear in Christchurch District Court tomorrow - for allegedly threatening to burn a person's home down to get cash.
A 36-year-old man will appear on August 23 - charged with blackmail, drug crimes and conspiracy to commit burglarly.
It's alleged the man - who was also a Mongols member at the time - took tens of thousands of dollars from a victim by threatening to hurt his loved ones.
Police believe others were involved in the offending - and expect further charges will be laid.
