Four arrests have been made after police patrols in Ōtara for the gang funeral of the man police say fatally shot a pedestrian on Auckland's Ponsonby Road.
Police also kept a close eye on gang members, as Hone Kay-Selwyn's body was moved across the city on Sunday.
Kay-Selwyn, who belonged to the Killer Beez gang, shot dead Robert Horne eight days ago, after being denied entry to a bar, police said.
The pair did not know each other and Kay-Selwyn, who was 31, was found dead on a rural property near Taupō last Tuesday.

"The operation on the ground today will be supported by the Air Support Unit and there will be a checkpoint established at the cemetery."
