Two arrests have been made and five bikes have been impounded after bikers swarmed Auckland City yesterday ahead of New Year's celebrations.
Jacqui Whittaker from Auckland City Police described the behaviour of the riders who converged on the city as "absolutely appalling and reckless driving behaviour".
Two men have been charged and will appear in court - one for careless driving and failing to stop and the other for traffic offending, including driving without a licence.
Another rider has been issued multiple infringement notices.
None of the offenders had a valid licence for the bikes they were riding and they have been forbidden to drive any motorised bike until licensed.
