1 min read

Please attribute to Inspector James McKay: 
 
Police are continuing to investigate a gang-related altercation at Delaney Park on the afternoon of Sunday 13 January. 
 
We have had a very positive response from members of the public who either witnessed or have information in regards to the incident. 
 
We are working through the information provided and making good progress towards identifying those responsible. 
 
We know this incident has been unsettling for the community and I want to reassure residents that we are doing everything we can to hold those involved to account.  
 
Police will retain a visible police presence in Stokes Valley as we continue our investigation.   
 
We would still like to hear from anyone who can assist the investigation but has not yet been in touch, particularly anyone who has CCTV cameras with coverage of the Delaney Park and George Street areas. 
 
If you can help, please contact Hutt Valley Police on 04 560 2600.  Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
