Police say they will continue to have a significant presence around the Hibiscus Coast Bus Station during the school holiday period – a time where trouble with young people has occurred there in the past. Waitematā North’s area prevention manager Senior Sergeant Roger Small says violence of any sort is not tolerated, and police will not accept the assaults and intimidatory behaviour that a small number of people have been engaging in. He says police are actively following up any incidents, but also increasing visibility and patrolling.
They are also working with community partners to address some of the wider issues that might be behind this behaviour. Police continue to encourage the public to report incidents so appropriate action can be taken by calling 111. Other information can be reported to Police by calling 105 or going online.
