Timaru District Council's taken action against gangs in small town New Zealand
17 May 2023
The council's bought a gang pad on Meadows Road in the suburb of Washdyke - after it was raided by Police on Monday.
The property was immediately demolished, in an act to crack down on the growing gang presence in the region.
Timaru Mayor Nigel Bowen says it's a clear message that gangs are not welcome in the district.
He says it's an investment into community safety.
