Six people have been arrested after a group of boy racers allegedly threw fireworks, bottles and rocks at police in the Wairarapa overnight.
Wairarapa police, with assistance from Central District staff, disrupted a planned activity by “antisocial road users” last night.
Officers were confronted by a “large and aggressive group” on Waingawa Rd near Masterton at around 1.15am, according to police.
“The group threw bottles, rocks and fireworks at officers before police were able to disperse them,” said a police spokesperson.
“The rear window of a police vehicle was smashed by the group.”
Multiple infringement notices were issued and two cars were impounded, along with driver suspensions.
