Police are concerned about the number of bystanders who gathered to film gunpoint arrests on a busy Hamilton street. It comes after armed police swooped a group of men near a superette on Greenwood St on Sunday afternoon. By the time police ordered a group of men to the ground at gunpoint, dozens had gathered to watch and film the action. Five men arrested were charged following an aggravated burglary in Te Awamutu, Waikato police Senior Sergeant Andrew O'Reilly said on Monday. However, it was concerning to see how many onlookers had stopped to watch and film while armed police dealt with the matter.
