Jo Turner had lived on Lancaster Rd for 50 years before the gangs moved in to state houses across the road.
Police have descended on a house linked to the Tribesman gang amid rising gang tensions in the city, and ahead of a rival’s patching ceremony planned for the weekend.

Witnesses saw a man understood to be a patched member of the Tribesman outlaw motorcycle club sitting on a chair surrounded by officers on the lawn of the Kainga Ora property on Friday.
