Link to story hereLong-running tensions between Invercargill gangs the Road Knights and the Mongrel Mob flared in public yesterday as the Road Knights' building in Balmoral Dr was gutted in a spectacular early morning fire.
Mob members arrived in a taxi and stood watching the fire, chanting and cheering, until police moved them on.
Police are treating the fire as suspicious but investigations have been hampered by the unsafe state of the fire-damaged building.
Later in the day police arrested four men after a standoff at the Mongrel Mob headquarters in Severn St.
The four men have been charged with criminal damage of two motorbikes set on fire at their Severn St gang compound during the afternoon and are to appear in the Invercargill District Court today. Police said they discovered the bikes after going to the compound to talk to gang members about the fire at the Road Knights' headquarters.
