Police have slapped gang members with a dispersal notice in a first under new Gangs Act legislation.
Assistant Commissioner Paul Basham said the notice was issued on 7 March to patched members of the Head Hunters gang, making it an offence for them to associate over the following seven days.
The notice came after police responded to a gun being pulled at an address in Torbay on Auckland’s North Shore.
Assistant Commissioner Basham said the offenders fled in three vehicles.
Two of the vehicles were later caught up in an armed police traffic stop at the on-ramp of the Northern Motorway at Oteha Valley Road.
Six people were detained and a search of the vehicles uncovered at loaded handgun and cannabis, Basham said.
