Six arrested after group assault

Six men have been arrested following an assault in Tokoroa last month.
Senior Sergeant Graeme Hill of the Tokoroa Police said six Tokoroa men aged between 18 and 25 were due to appear in the Tokoroa District Court today jointly charged with wounding with intent  to cause bodily harm and participation in an organised criminal group.
The charges relate to an attack on a 21-year-old man at a Jedburgh St property on May 16.

Mr Hill said the arrests had resulted from a lengthy investigation by police culminating in six search warrants being executed at houses in the township yesterday morning.
