Gang member arrested

Gang member arrested

You can run but you can't hide. Not from Kawakawa Police that is.

Kawakawa Police carried out a small operation in the early hours of the morning of this morning and arrested a man who had been on the run for over a month.

The 44-year-old gang member failed to appear on charges relating to drugs, shoplifting, theft of motor vehicle and breach of court release conditions.

Warrants for his arrest had been issued from the Auckland, Whangärei and Kaikohe courts.

Kawakawa Police received information that the man was back in their area and conducted a small operation to catch him.

He was located hiding under a bed inside a house in Moerewa.

The man will be appearing in the Kaikohe District Court today.
