Burnout accused confronts media at court

Category: Media Control

One of the men charged with doing burnouts at an Upper Hutt funeral has lost control with media outside court.

After the group appeared in Upper Hutt District Court this morning, one of the men chased a Dominion Post photographer and then lunged at a 3 News camera.

The men, aged between 18 and 27, face charges of dangerous driving and loss of traction after burnouts were done at the end of a funeral in March.

At the time Hutt Valley area commander Insp Mike Hill said the men placed the public at risk, and the police will not tolerate illegal street racers in the community.

Holding a driver's license does not make anyone an expert driver able to defy the laws of physics, Mr Hill said. We do not want any needless deaths or injuries on our roads.

The men had their vehicles impounded for 28 days after the incident.

All four menwere remanded on bail to reappear next month.
