Police are expecting to see some traffic disruption in Lower Hutt and Porirua today as officers monitor a gang-related funeral.
The funeral is due to take place in Lower Hutt this morning, with a procession to Whenua Tapu Cemetery in Porirua.
“Police have had a visible presence in Lower Hutt overnight and will monitor the funeral procession out to Whenua Tapu today,” Hutt Valley prevention manager inspector Shaun Lingard said.
“Unlawful activity will not be tolerated and any unlawful behaviour will be investigated and followed up with enforcement action.”
There is likely to be some traffic disruption in the late morning in Lower Hutt, particularly around Moera, and in the early afternoon in Porirua including State Highway 58, police said.
“Motorists should expect some temporary disruption and should plan accordingly.”
