To be attributed to Inspector Ross Grantham, Manawatū Area Commander Police have escalated their efforts to target gang anti-social and violent behaviour in the Manawatū, invoking new legislation to disrupt gang activity. Today Police have arrested three men with gang links in relation to possession of firearms and ammunition after a vehicle was stopped in Feilding this morning around 3.20am. All three men will be appearing before the Palmerston North District Court facing a variety of charges. Police have invoked the use of the Criminal Activity Intervention Legislation Act (CAIL) 2023 in the Manawatū area providing police with search warrant powers to search vehicles and the occupants of vehicles of suspected gang members and to seize their weapons during times of conflict.
