Police are expected to use a Gang Conflict Warrant for several days due to increased gang tensions in Rotorua

Ten arrests were made as police monitored movements during a tangi in the Owhata area yesterday.

All those charged were Mongrel Mob members from Rotorua, the Hawke's Bay and Kawerau.

Four of those arrested had warrants for their arrests while two others were arrested for breaching bail conditions.

Other arrests included possession of gang insignia in a public place, possession of an offensive weapon, and possession of methamphetamine.

Police also seized one gang patch.
