Police have issued 55 infringement notices and multiple charges following "anti-social" behaviour at a gang-related funeral in Auckland last month.
The charges were a part of Operation Cobalt which investigated the unlawful and dangerous driving exhibited following a funeral procession on June 16.
Waitemāta District Commander Superintendent Naila Hassan said the police monitored the procession involving King Cobras members where some anti-social behaviour was witnessed on the roads.
As a result of the investigation, a 38-year-old man was charged with driving and firearms-related offences. He has appeared in the Waitākere District Court.
A 47-year-old woman has also been charged with driving offences, including failing to stop, and is due to appear in the same court at a later date.
A 27-year-old man has been charged with driving-related offences and has appeared in the Wellington District Court.
Supt Hassan said two motorbikes had been seized and police can not rule out further enforcement action being taken.
"Gang activity of this nature is unsettling for motorists, and it is unacceptable for any group who conducts themselves in a way that intimidates the community and other road users," Supt Hassan said.
"This ongoing enforcement action should send a clear message that Police will not tolerate behaviour that endangers others.
"Police are working hard to ensure we keep our community safe, and we will continue to actively hold those who participate in illegal activity, to account."
Anyone with information, including photos or video footage, is encouraged to contact the Police.
