And just on Thursday a Clendon Park home was fired at in a drive-by shooting while a family huddled inside. Joe, the organiser of the event, said enough was enough and the community needed to come together to find a solution to the problem.

Police swarmed the Sofitel in downtown Auckland after a shooting linked to a feud between the Head Hunters and Mongols (first published April 2021). A softly spoken man, Joe didn’t want his full name used as he is a former gang member and didn’t want to anger any gangs through his involvement.

The shots were reportedly fired at a house on Palmers Road in Clendon Park about 4.20am and the offenders drove off in a car.
People were inside the house at the time but no-one was injured. Tags:

A woman has described a terrifying ordeal after several gunshots rang out near her house in the early hours of this morning.
Police have launched an investigation after shots were reportedly fired at a house in the suburb of Clendon Park, near Manurewa and Weymouth, in South Auckland.
The incident happened shortly before 4.30am and involved a house on Palmers Rd, police said.
A resident nearby told the Herald she was still in shock several hours after. I m still shaken up from what happened. All I heard [was] what sounded like seven to nine gunshots around 4.20 this morning.
Both denied the charges and were granted bail. Family members and other supporters of the men, including Elise’s young children, were in the public gallery. Elise, whose address was listed as a property in Papatoetoe, had his occupation down as “supervisor”, while Paulo did not have an occupation listed.

They will next appear in the Auckland District Court in October. Their third co-accused, Lorenzo Ropeti, 27, appeared later. He also did not seek suppression and pleaded not guilty, electing a jury trial.
While the new valuations are being set now, they won’t feed through to rates bills until 2022 after the being formalised later this year, with the trend affecting cheaper suburbs, similar to 2014. Seven of the 10 highest-rising median values over the past four years, include Māngere East on 34.75 per cent, East Tamaki and Clendon Park over 34 per cent, Clover Park on 33 per cent, and Otara, Māngere and Rosehill over 32 per cent. Typical of the surge was Māngere East where the median value rose from $640,000 to an estimated $862,000, and Clendon Park from $530,000 to $711,000. Also in the plus-30 per cent league are some more central Auckland suburbs such as Morningside on 35.23 per cent, Grafton, Onehunga, and Ellerslie, along with southern Glen Innes and Otahuhu.
