Eastern District Police

Police will be closely monitoring the movements of those travelling from Napier through to Hastings for a funeral tomorrow morning around 9am.

Motorists can expect to see a large number of gang members and associates travelling around the region both this evening and tomorrow.

We’re reminding all those who are travelling on our roads to not act in any way that can put yourself and other road users at risk.

Motorists should also expect delays.

Police will be investigating any unlawful behaviour, and where enforcement action can not be taken at the time, expect our staff to follow up.

If you have concerns for your safety, or witness any illegal behaviour from those involved, please call 111 immediately.

To report or send in any footage of the group engaging in illegal activity on our roads, please make a report online at 105.police/govt.nz, call Police via 105 or make an anonymous report via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
