The long weekend's brought the worst out of boy racers.

Six people were arrested in Wairarapa, with fireworks, bottles, and rocks all hurled at Police.

The Government's already hinted tougher legislation could be on the way, which can't come soon enough for those who've had a gutsful.

Masterton mayor Gary Caffell told Tim Beveridge the gatherings are getting worse and worse.

“Unless the Government is willing to really get tough on these people, then we’re in a lot of trouble because somebody’s going to get killed. There’s no question about that.”
