The man at the centre of an apparent gang war on methamphetamine in Ngaruawahia has been arrested.
Jamie Pink, leader of the Tribal Huk gang, is understood to have been arrested yesterday after police took his car earlier this week.
It follows claims by Pink he had been shot at and "lost and eyeball" in the so-called war to rid the tiny Waikato town of the drug P.
"Following the forensic examination of a vehicle in relation to recent activities in Ngaruawahia, a 45-year-old man has been arrested on charges of unlawful possession of firearms," a police spokesman said.
Pink drove his car, a black SUV, to another media outlet in Hamilton on Monday and later said "two little old ladies" blew his eye out with a tommy gun.
