Video / Mike ScottA Black Power gang member was granted electronically monitored bail despite opposition from Corrections. The prisoner arrived at his bail address at 12.28pm, two hours and 19 minutes after leaving the prison. However, yesterday Ardern and Bloomfield believed he was infected after leaving prison in Auckland, and before arriving home - possibly by the person who drove him to the bail address. The prisoner remained within the boundary of the bail address until September, when he visited a car park about 250 metres away. The man was then in Police custody overnight, before being transported to Mt Eden Corrections Facility on September 17.
