20 Arrests At New Zealand's Hard Rock Festival

March 24, 2008

New Zealand's The Dominion Post reports that a dozen people were arrested on the second night of Wellington's hard-rocking music festival.

The arrests which brought the Rock2Wgtn festival total to 20 in two days were mainly for minor offences such as trespass, a Wellington police spokesman said.

Three people were also arrested for breaking into cars outside Westpac Stadium while OZZY OSBOURNE, POISON and WHITESNAKE played inside on Sunday night.

Wellington Regional Stadium Trust chief executive David Gray said the crowd was generally well-behaved. "I think it was pretty good, given the type of crowd that we had all there looking to have a good time."
