Update: 2024-11-20
Description
Police have already acted on the new gang patch ban.
The Gangs Act 2024 came into effect at midnight last night, banning the public wear of gang patches and insignia.
New Police Commissioner Richard Chambers told Mike Hosking that at three minutes past midnight, Hastings police stopped a vehicle displaying gang insignia, and they are now facing prosecution.
He told Hosking the person staff dealt with was respectful and followed the orders of police.
“I’m happy with how that went, and I suspect there will be more to come,” he said.
When asked whether he had enough resources to get the job done, Chambers said they will do their best with the staff they have.
