Four firearms and a knife have been seized by police investigating gang-related offending in Levin.
It comes after a Gang Conflict Warrant was put in place on Thursday, following four firearms incidents in as many days.
Manawatū area commander inspector Ross Grantham said the warrant is already helping to keep the Horowhenua town safe.
“On Thursday, we stopped and searched a vehicle, locating a firearm, we then found another firearm in the home associated to the vehicle.
“Yesterday morning, we stopped another vehicle and found two firearms.
“Some time later another vehicle was stopped where Police found a large knife.”
Police said they are also making ongoing inquiries into drug deportation and dealing.
Anyone with relevant information is urged to contact Police through 105.
