South Island Police have kept the pressure on those travelling into Canterbury for a gang event, with a mass vehicle stop at Glasnevin yesterday

Tasman District Police met a number of Mongols members and associates as they disembarked from the ferry at Picton.

Two drivers linked to the event were forbidden to drive, and one motorcycle was impounded by Tasman Police.

The group was actively policed as they travelled south through Kaikoura, and into Canterbury District.

At the Glasnevin truck stop, a checkpoint was established, and every member of the group was stopped and spoken to and their vehicles inspected.
