A night of disrupting anti-social road users in Manawatū


Location:

Central

Four people have been arrested, two vehicles seized and dozens of infringements issued after an anti-social road user event in Manawatū.

Manawatū Area Commander Inspector Matenga Gray says two patrol cars were damaged after the group launched projectiles, but the 200 vehicles involved in the event “spent their night dealing with Police rather than tearing up local roads and causing distress to communities”.

Ahead of the planned event, Police launched Operation Golf in order to disrupt dangerous and anti-social driving activity before it could escalate.
