Armed offenders squad officers were called to Clendon, a suburb of Manukau City, yesterday after a gang of youths threatened a 15 year old girl with a pistol.

A member of the gang held the pistol to the girl’s head.

Police say the gang threatened to kill the girl but she managed to escape from the Clendon Park house and alerted the police.

Armed offenders squad officers moved into the suburb and took four people away for questioning. Police are still trying to locate the firearm.
