Please attribute to Inspector Richard Sami, Auckland City Police:
An earlier operation monitoring gang movements throughout the city has now wound down.
As a result, two bikes have been impounded and one person is behind bars following a checkpoint in Papakura this afternoon.
Police deployed additional staff across parts of Auckland to monitor movements of gang members in relation to a funeral taking place.
A range of Police staff were utilised, recording instances of unlawful behaviour and facilitating a checkpoint in Papakura.
One person was arrested for breaching release conditions and two bikes were impounded. A number of infringements were also issued.
Police placed expectations on behaviours from the beginning and there were minimal issues to deal with today.
ENDS.
