Four arrests were made as part of a Police operation in Counties Manukau today.

Police have been monitoring movements and proceedings surrounding the funeral of Hone Kay-Selwyn since Thursday last week.

Inspector Rakana Cook says the operation involved monitoring numerous gang members moving through different parts of the city.

¡°Today, Police monitored funeral proceedings between the ?tara and Manukau Memorial Garden areas,¡± he says.

¡°This included a significant Police presence on the grounds at the cemetery, with some support from the Police Air Support Unit.¡±

A checkpoint was established at the Manukau Memorial Gardens as part of today¡¯s operation.

¡°There are no significant issues to report this afternoon and those gathered have dispersed,¡± Inspector Cook says.

¡°Four arrests were made for judicial matters, with four motorcycles impounded for prior driving related offending.

¡°Our expectations on the acceptable standard of behaviour have not changed in the last four days.¡±

Police ask anyone who witnessed concerning behaviour to report this to Police by calling 105 or making a report online.

When filing a report, we ask that you indicate whether you have photos or video of the offending so that this can be followed up appropriately.
