Police Issue 68 Infringement Notices: Gang Motorcycle Run
Police handed out 68 infringement notices at a Hells Angels Nomads motorbike ride on Saturday.
Some members of the Head Hunters and Tribesmen joined the cavalcade, police said.
Officers set up checkpoints along the ride and issued tickets for a variety of offences.
Two unlicensed drivers were forbidden from driving and five people had their licences suspended because of excess demerit points.
Eighteen vehicles were taken off the road because they failed to be roadworthy.
One man was arrested on unrelated family harm matters.
Inspector Simon Walker said police wanted to thank the community for reporting dangerous driving.
"This operation sends a clear message to gangs that unsafe behaviour on our roads will not be tolerated by police and our community."
Call 105 to report driving offences.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
