Please attribute to Kāpiti-Mana Relieving Area Commander Simon de Wit:
Police have had an active presence in the Porirua region today monitoring a funeral in the area to ensure behaviour did not impact other members of the public.
Around 100 vehicles were involved in a procession from Tawa and gathered at the Whenua Tapu Cemetery.
Over the course of the day, one vehicle was impounded, and one non-operation order was issued.
A further 12 infringement notices were issued for driving behaviour.
Further enforcement action is likely.
No significant issues were reported during the gathering and those involved have now dispersed.
Everyone should be safe and feel safe when out in the community and Police will continue to enforce our clear expectations on motorists’ behaviour on our roads.
