Concerns have come from the Prime Minister about rising gang tensions on the streets of New Zealand.

Investigations are continuing into two fatal shootings in Palmerston North and at Auckland's Point England over the weekend.

Both appear to be related to gang rivalries.

A manhunt is also continuing after Thursday's shootings in Auckland's downtown.

Chris Hipkins told Mike Hosking the incidents are alarming and admits they're also becoming far too common.
