Police will be actively monitoring a gang gathering in the Taumarunui area this week, ensuring the disruption to the public is limited.
Members of the King Country Mongrel Mob are expected to gather in the Taumarunui region for a reunion event, planned for 13-17 February.
Additional Police staff will be in the region to work to reduce disruption on the roads and ensure the community feel safe.
Police have been in touch with the organisers of the event and have set clear expectations about the behaviour of attendees. A number of local businesses have also been approached for reassurance ahead of this event.
Anyone who sees illegal or unsafe activity is asked to contact 111 if it is happening now or report other matters to Police by calling 105 or making an online report here.
