Attributable to Inspector Danny Kirk, Tairāwhiti Area Commander:
It’s been a particularly busy time for Tairāwhiti Police over the last few days.
With the annual Rhythm and Vines Music Festival attracting thousands, reports of anti-social road user events planned in the area and New Year celebrations across the region, mixed in with heavy rain.
Festival goers braved the wet weather and overall, their behaviour was good. There were four arrests for supplying drugs and breaches of bail, possession of an offensive weapon and behaving threateningly.
