1 min read

Vigilant Police officers on the hunt in the Glenfield area overnight managed to locate a person wanted by Police.

At around 3.25am, a Police unit patrolling Glenfield Road noticed a vehicle driving in a suspicious manner.

°Â²¹¾±³Ù±ð³¾²¹³Ù¨¡ East Area Prevention Manager, Inspector Todd Moore-Carter, says the driver attempted to evade Police by driving down a small slip road.

¡°The officers have managed to stop the vehicle and found two men associated with the Head Hunters gang.

¡°One man was arrested by Police on warrant matters.

¡°The alleged driver of the vehicle also failed a Breath Screening Test and is facing driving charges related to excess breath alcohol,¡± Inspector Moore-Carter says.

¡°I want to acknowledge the efforts of our staff who work tirelessly to hold these offenders to account.

¡°We hope this arrest will provide some reassurance to the community, who I know do not stand for behaviour which continues to put them, and the wider community, at risk.¡±

A 37-year-old man will appear in Wait¨¡kere District Court today.

ENDS.
