Four people have been arrested as part of a police operation in Counties Manukau today.
Police have been monitoring movements and proceedings surrounding the funeral of Hone Kay-Selwyn since Thursday last week.
Kay-Selwyn was sought by police after Robert Sidney Horne, 33, was fatally shot in Auckland’s Ponsonby last weekend.
After a manhunt, Kay-Selwyn, 31, was found dead near Taupō. His death was not being treated as suspicious.
Inspector Rakana Cook said the operation involved monitoring numerous gang members moving through different parts of the city.
“Today, police monitored funeral proceedings between the Ōtara and Manukau Memorial Garden areas,” he said.
“This included a significant police presence on the grounds at the cemetery, with some support from the Police Air Support Unit.”
A checkpoint was established at the Manukau Memorial Gardens as part of today’s operation.
“There are no significant issues to report this afternoon and those gathered have dispersed.
“Four arrests were made for judicial matters, with four motorcycles impounded for prior driving related offending.
“Our expectations on the acceptable standard of behaviour have not changed in the last four days.”
Police asked anyone who witnessed concerning behaviour to report it by calling 105 or making a report online. Police asked people to also indicate whether they had photo or video of any offending so it could be followed up appropriately.
