Police are continuing to crack down on the gang patch ban

A Mongrel Mob member was given a sharp reminder when they entered the Taumaranui Police station on an unrelated matter, with a cap displaying insignia yesterday.

In Christchurch, a patched Black Power member was arrested after being seen on Grove Road - following a serious assault.

One man in Counties Manukau and three others in Waikato have also been charged.

Assistant Commissioner Paul Basham says the variety of prosecutions proves Police won't hesitate to enforce the law.
