Photo: RNZ / REECE BAKER At least four people have been arrested, and several vehicles have been impounded, following a gang tangi in Gisborne on Monday. Police estimated up to 400 gang members and associates attended the funeral. It said at least four people were arrested for public display of gang insignia, and will be appearing in court in the coming days. One motorbike has been impounded for six months after failing to stop twice for police. Three other vehicles have also been impounded for 28 days - two of those were due to dangerous driving, and one was due to a person driving while suspended. Police said they would be following up with people who were seen leaning out of the windows of vehicles. "While the tangi may have finished, our work to enforce the law has not," Tairāwhiti area commander inspector Danny Kirk said. Kirk said police had been engaging with the family of the deceased and gang leaders in the lead up to the event, which he believed had a part to play in the small number of arrests for an event with such a large attendance. He said additional police officers would be carrying out reassurance patrols and monitoring driving behaviour across Gisborne on Monday night.
