Five people – including three patched gang members – have been arrested and their motorcycles impounded after a joyride across South Auckland.
Police spotted a group of Tribesmen gang members speeding on Auckland’s State Highway 1 near Pōkeno about 6pm Thursday.

Officers on the ground were set to intercept the group then and signalled for the riders to stop.
“Disappointingly, the group disregarded this and they fled from police towards Ōtara – travelling at well over twice the legal speed limit and through a red light,” Wakelin said.
Members of the group were eventually found at a property on Berrett Pl.
Three patched members aged 24, 28 and 32, were arrested and will appear in the Manukau District Court for failing to stop and dangerous driving.
