Northland police have arrested a man who was wanted after the suspicious death of Tribesmen gang member John Henry Harris.
Police have thanked the public for their help in a recent search for the man, but have declined to name him ahead of a possible court appearance.
The Northern Advocate understands the man is Walter Reid Ngaau, 54, a senior Whangarei Black Power gang member.
Police said a man had been arrested after a warrant was executed at a house in Tinopai about 5am on Wednesday and he was likely to appear in the Whangarei District Court on Thursday.
Detective Inspector Dene Begbie said another warrant had been executed at a Dargaville house which was being operated as a methamphetamine lab and two people were arrested.
