A confrontation between two gangs led to man being arrested in Raetihi on Monday morning. The man allegedly produced a pistol at the towns Caltex station. It is unknown whether the pistol was loaded, but no shots were fired. Both parties are believed to have gang affiliations, with the men threatened members of the Tribesmen motorcycle gang. Sergeant Mike Craig of Ohakune police said animosity between the alleged gunman and the group of Tribesmen was the likely cause of the incident.
"I guess it's got gang connections. Certainly, any time this happens we have to be concerned, but in this case nothing really happened. The alleged offender was remanded on bail to appear in Ohakune District Court
