The choice of clothing colour would indicate this is likely to be gang related once again. Only a matter of time before we get a very significant incident in Willow St, Tauranga. The increase in violence and drug use around the toilet block is very apparent to anyone who spends any time at all in this area (Unless you're a council executive worker or CCTV operative apparently)
