South Auckland gangs reach agreement after spate of shootings

Two rival South Auckland gangs have come to an agreement to end a spate of violence after five recent shooting incidents in the area, reports the NZ Herald. Inspector Wendy Spiller, Area Commander for Counties Manukau East Police, said she understood an agreement was reached between the Killer Beez and Tribesmen. However, their investigation into the earlier shootings in the Ōtara area continue. “Police, like our community, have no tolerance for gun violence and we will hold any persons responsible to account for their actions with regards to firearms offences.”
