Police are deploying additional staff across parts of the Bay of Plenty to monitor movements of gang members attending a tangi at Mangakino today

Disruptions to traffic flow are expected around the tangi itself at 11am, and the funeral procession from Mangakino to Taupo crematorium.

Police will be conducting checkpoints in both Taupo and Mangakino, and say they'll have zero tolerance for poor behaviour.

Taupo police area commander Inspector Phil Edwards says if participants choose to employ poor driving or general disorderly behaviour, they can expect follow-up enforcement action.

He says Police encourage the public to report any instances of unlawful activity.
