Four guns were located inside a guitar case after an armed call out in Auckland yesterday.
Police received a report of a person in possession of what appeared to be a firearm outside a property in Kitemoana St, Ōrākei at around 2.10pm.
Auckland City East Area Prevention Manager Inspector Rachel Dolheguy said police arrived and located the firearms inside a vehicle parked at the address.
She said an armed approach was made but that 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.”
Dolheguy said taking the firearms out of circulation from the community was a “great result”.
“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 on Auckland District Court on April 4 charged with three counts of unlawful possession of a firearm.
