On Saturday 13 December 2025, Police were called to a premises in Churton Park where a gathering was taking place.
Around 90 young people were in attendance of the supervised invitation-only gathering, where at around 10.30pm four people arrived uninvited.
The alleged offenders were masked, and one was armed with a weapon.
The alleged offenders have then conducted a planned, violent, unprovoked assault on seven young people in attendance of the gathering before fleeing the area.
The seven people received a range of injuries, from minor bruising to a fractured skull which required surgery.
They are now all home and recovering from their injuries.
Police have been speaking with the victims, and the large number of witnesses at the gathering.
Our enquiries into the incident have established the alleged offenders attended the Mobil Gas Station in Johnsonville around 20 minutes prior to the assault.
An 18-year-old Tawa man has been arrested and charged with multiple counts including wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, assault with intent to injure, and common assault.
Police are now appealing for information from the public that may help us in identifying the three people pictured as we believe they could assist in our enquiries.
- One man is wearing a β36β Pittsburgh Steelers NFL jersey, light coloured denim shorts, and blue and white basketball sneakers.
- The second man is wearing a black hoodie with βLakersβ printed on the front, dark-coloured shorts, white sneakers, and has a diamante stud earring in their left ear.
- A third person cannot be seen in the images, however, has been described as wearing a grey hoodie, beige / grey shorts, and black sneakers.
If you know who these men may be, or attended the gathering, please get in touch with us online at 105.police.govt.nz, clicking βUpdate Reportβ, using the reference number 251217/8772.
Information can also be provided anonymously through Crime Stoppers online or through 0800 555 111.

Tidy garden. Solid paths. Happy tenant.
But beneath one well-kept rental lay the aftershocks of past earthquakes.
A routine drain camera inspection uncovered what years of seismic movement had quietly caused: old ceramic pipes shifted out of line, cracked, and slowly failing. No immediate mess but classic earthquake hangover damage waiting to surface.
The silver lining? An old EQC claim (now Natural Hazards Commission) was still active. We helped the owner navigate the process, secured approval, and completed the earthquake-related repairs without unexpected costs.
Earthquake damage repaired. Pipes realigned. Property protected.
Neighbourly reminder: Earthquake damage doesnβt always announce itself. Many issues stay hidden underground until they become expensive emergencies. A simple drain check can uncover lingering quake effects before they escalate.
Wondering what the earthquakes left behind under your place?

For those who donβt know me, Iβm Fran from Ruru Tiny Homes β many of you will have seen our homes around Motueka over the years, or heard of us locally.
I am looking for land lease opportunities for my clients, regularly, but I am aware how uncertain this topic can feel so I wanted to put a note here simply offering free, no-pressure advice and guidance for anyone who is:
- curious about living in a tiny home on wheels, or
- a landowner considering leasing a small part of their land to a tiny home tenant to generate income.
Weβve been working in this space for a long time with builders clients and Councils nationwide (including and often TDC and NCC) and are very focused on doing things properly β fully checked against regulations, council expectations and legal realities. No βletβs just do it and hope for the bestβ, no dodgy arrangements, and no sub-standard homes that cause problems for neighbours or landowners down the track.
Tiny living can be a really positive solution when itβs done well, and also a minefield when it isnβt β so if youβre looking for clarity, education, or just someone local to talk things through with, Iβm very happy to help.
Feel free to comment or send me a private message if this is relevant to you, or if youβd simply like to understand how it works in the Motueka / Tasman context.
You can also email me or call me, our details are on the Ruru Tiny Homes Website and I am happy to chat over the phone or via email too!
