    The police patrolling of a Napier gang funeral has come at a cost of more than 75-thousand dollars to the taxpayer

    The police patrolling of a Napier gang funeral has come at a cost of more than 75-thousand dollars to the taxpayer


    Authorities made 18 arrests at the funeral procession for former Mongrel Mob Barbarian chapter President Angus Benson in December.

    More than 400 cars moved through Napier in one of the first large gang tangi since the gang patch ban came into effect.

    Police brought in extra staff with the bulk of costs coming from accommodation and staff allowances.

    Another 20 thousand-dollars was spent on using the Eagle Helicopter.
