Motorists in the wider Wellington region are being warned that a large number of gang members will be travelling in the area for a funeral.
Hutt Valley Area Commander Inspector Wade Jennings said vehicles were expected to be travelling from Moera towards Foxton on Tuesday at around 11am.
"Motorists can expect to see a large number of gang members add associates travelling around the wider Wellington region."
Police will have a visible presence, Jennings said.
"We remind those travelling on our roads to not act in a way that puts anybody's safety at risk.
"Any unlawful behaviour where police cannot take action at the time will be investigated and followed up with enforcement action."
Jennings said anyone who witnesses illegal behaviour should call 111 immediately.
Video footage of anyone causing concern could be sent to 105 online or over the phone, he said.
