A group of boy racers have been arrested and had their vehicles impounded after allegedly doing burnouts at their friend's funeral in Upper Hutt.
Police said the four men, aged 18 to 27, carried out burnouts as their friend's funeral procession made its way to Akatarawa Cemetery on March 12.
They were arrested and charged with dangerous driving and sustained loss of traction after police executed search warrants at properties in Upper Hutt early this morning.
Three vehicles were impounded and a stolen car and car parts were recovered.
Inspector Mike Hill said the men had disrespected the dead with their actions.
