Police Strike Lucky Cord To Locate Four Firearms
Police have located four guns inside a guitar case in Ōrākei following a call to Police.
At about 2.10pm yesterday, Police received a report of a person in possession of what appeared to be a firearm outside a property in Kitemoana Street.
Auckland City East Area Prevention Manager, Inspector Rachel Dolheguy, says Police arrived and quickly located the firearms inside a vehicle parked at the address.
“An armed approach was made, however all parties were cooperative with Police.
“A search of the vehicle located a guitar case with four firearms inside, including two pistols, one shotgun and one rifle.
“Taking another four firearms out of circulation from our community is a great result and we continue to be committed to holding people to account and delivering on our intent to keep people safe.”
A 29-year-old man will appear in Auckland District Court on 4 April charged with three counts of unlawful possession of a firearm.
