Three men were arrested in Raiwai after they allegedly threatened and threw beer bottles at police officers who were attending to a report of excessive noise early this morning.

Raiwaqa Police Station received a call after 2am regarding excessive noise at Madams Place in Raiwai whereby officers responded to the call.
