Hundreds of illegal motorcyclists have been "terrifying" Auckland's streets over the weekend
8 February 2021
They've been pulling off death-defying stunts and even blocking off a section of motorway.
In multiple videos posted to social media a large group of riders, mostly on unregistered dirt bikes and many without helmets, can be seen taking over the streets around Mangere Bridge, Hillsborough and Lynfield.
In one video the group have blocked off the northwest-bound side of the Southwestern Motorway near the Hillsborough Rd exit, while riders are doing burnouts blowing thick smoke through the building traffic.
Local residents say it was "terrifying" to see and has been happening with increasing frequency in the past year.
