to Detective Senior Sergeant Kevin McNaughton, Counties
Manukau Police:
Police are looking for a patched member
of the Head Hunter Motorcycle Gang in relation to an assault
on a truck driver in Industry Road, Auckland last Friday (7
July 2017).
Winiata Pihu Tipene has four warrants for his
arrest in relation to the incident for charges including
assault and wilful damage.
He is 27-year-old and
described as being 190 cm tall and of thin build.
Winiata
is considered to be dangerous and should not be
approached.
If you know where he is then please call 111
immediately.
Police are aware of social media commentary
that portrays this incident as being a result of serious
tension between boy racers and truck drivers.
Following a
significant number of enquiries, Police do not believe this
is the case.
This was an isolated incident involving a
patched gang member.
If you have any information on
Winiata’s whereabouts then please contact Counties Manukau
Crimesquad 09 261 1321.
