    The Police Commissioner says he is proud of progress in cracking down on gangs

    The Police Commissioner says he is proud of progress in cracking down on gangs


    On Monday night, Kaitaia police arrested a 44-year-old man for displaying insignia.

    Methamphetamine utensils, an offensive weapon, and gun ammunition were subsequently found in his vehicle.

    Richard Chambers says since new laws took effect in November, there've been more than 700 prosecutions for displaying gang symbols.

    He says thousands of other charges have come about - thanks to enforcement of the gang-patch ban.
