Photo: FacebookPolice across Canterbury will be armed for the foreseeable future as tension between gangs simmers across the district following the shooting of a high profile Mongrel Mob member. He is the son of senior Mongrel Mob member Joseph Wiringi. After the shooting a temporary general arming order was made - meaning all police on duty were carrying firearms. A second order was made last night. He had been attending a party at a Mongols gang house on New Year's Eve.
