Episode Synopsis


A crowd of 1000 people and 200 cars filled the Horowhenua town of Levin just over three weeks ago, doing burnouts and other anti-social activity that caused a public outcry and large police response. Two men behind the 'Levin invasion' say the night was a reaction to the government's tough talk. Meanwhile, the mother of a woman killed during illegal street racing has a simple plea for those involved in such activities: stop, now. Jimmy Ellingham reports.
