Police are aware
of discussions on social media about plans for a large
gathering of young people in Auckland this Friday
afternoon.
This follows a large disorder incident at
Mission Bay Reserve last Friday afternoon where a number of
youths were arrested for disorder.
We are planning
accordingly and there will be an increased Police presence
in the area as well as on trains and at train stations
throughout Tāmaki Makaurau.
Police will not tolerate
violent or disorderly behaviour.

their students from attending any such gathering tomorrow,
and are warning against anyone planning to engage in
disorderly behaviour.
Our officers are continuing to
monitor any communication in relation to this on social
media.
