Police have slapped gang members with a dispersal notice in a first under new Gangs Act legislation.

Assistant Commissioner Paul Basham said the notice was issued on 7 March to patched members of the Head Hunters gang, making it an offence for them to associate over the following seven days.

The notice came after police responded to a gun being pulled at an address in Torbay on Aucklandโ€™s North Shore.

Assistant Commissioner Basham said the offenders fled in three vehicles.

Two of the vehicles were later caught up in an armed police traffic stop at the on-ramp of the Northern Motorway at Oteha Valley Road.

Six people were detained and a search of the vehicles uncovered at loaded handgun and cannabis, Basham said.
