A call for peace in a town grappling with gang violence. A hikoi through Kaikohe today culminated in a rāhui being placed over the Far North town in the hope it might quiet a bitter feud between rivals.
The town has seen multiple shootings and a daylight brawl on its main street in recent months.
Police believe events in Kaikohe are linked to a feud in Auckland between the Tribesmen and their former feeder gang the Killer Beez.
Meanwhile, locals say police presence is all good and well, but it'll take far more to bring peace.
Nick Truebridge and Marika Khabazi have this story from Kaikohe.
