A member of the Mongrel Mob Mana Wāhinetoa group went early this morning to test the new gang patch laws and managed to get home after a brief encounter with cops.
Cherie Kurarangi did a sugar shopping run wearing her Mongrel Mob T-shirt to the local Mobil petrol station in Napier and struck up a conversation with officers.
“I saw officers do a U-turn and parked up. I was wearing my colours and standing at the window of the service station buying some milk and chocolate.”
Kurarangi said the officers sat in their squad car and watched her. She was wearing the t-shirt pictured.
“They didn’t say anything, and in fact I went over to them and asked if everything is alright. I have been in a lot of hui with police over a range of kaupapa. The officer knew me and wound down his window and said ‘what are we doing Cherie?’,” she said.
