    There's concern over out-of-town gang members causing violence on Wellington streets

    There's concern over out-of-town gang members causing violence on Wellington streets


    Police attended several incidents of disorder over the weekend, many of which involved visiting gang members.

    Bar owners spoken to by Newstalk ZB have described the weekend as feral, saying everyone is feeling on edge.

    Police say they were able to manage the incidents, but are continuing to monitor gang activity.
