1 min read

Counties Manukau Police have identified and interviewed a number of students involved in the brawl and KFC Mangere on Monday 29 August.

The students were identified with the assistance of their schools, witness accounts and cellphone footage.

Eleven people under the age of 17 will be referred to the Police Youth Aid section.

This is in addition to those who were arrested shortly after the incident.

“We’d like to thank the community for the assistance they have provided us in identifying those involved. The result of our investigation should provide our community with the reassurance that there is zero tolerance for this behaviour and there will be consequences for those that engage in it. There is a small key group whose families will be assisting us in preventing a repeat of this behaviour” says Inspector Uraia Vakaruru, Counties Manukau Police.
