Coronavirus: Gang leader says lockdown breaches preventable

From Morning Report, 6:49 am on 4 May 2020

A gang leader suggests some of the recent lockdown breaches by gang members could have been prevented.

It comes as the police released a statement warning they would not "tolerate gang breaches" after a series of incidents linked to Mongrel Mob members in Waikato over the weekend.

The president of the Waikato Mongrel Mob Kingdom Chapter says his team has been supporting the community by delivering essentials to people in need.

Sonny Fatupaito told RNZ reporter Harriet Robinson that they have faced problems with authorities.
