Police say there has been no "significant issues" at a Mongrel Mob reunion in Taumarunui.

On Thursday last week police said they were increasing their presence while monitoring the gathering of the King Country chapter.

Ruapehu response manager senior sergeant Grant Alabaster said ahead of the event police "worked with organisers and set clear expectations around behaviour to ensure there was minimal impact to the local community".

Police presence was boosted to assist with road policing and community reassurance.

Alabaster said no arrests were made and they did not see any anti-social or unlawful behaviour.

He said police continue to monitor the movements of the gathering as it comes to an end.
