A group of children who often ride around on scooters are terrorising a northern Wellington suburb, with reports of assaults, intimidation, racist abuse and theft. Police, Oranga Tamariki, Ministry of Education and the Tawa Business Group are working together to address the issue, which has been ongoing for at least five months, one business owner said. Kapiti Mana senior sergeant Wade Fale said police were aware of concerns relating to recent reports of a group of young people being physically and verbally aggressive to other members of the community.
