Police have arrested and charged a man following a firearms incident in Wiri on the weekend.
At about 1am on Sunday morning, Police were called to an address on Felicia Place following a report of a disorder incident involving two groups of people.
Detective Senior Sergeant Kevin Tiernan, Counties Manukau CIB, says shots were reportedly fired from an address before one of the groups left in a vehicle.
One person was transported to hospital with minor injuries.
On attendance, Police located and seized a sawn-down shotgun and ammunition.
¡°This morning, following a number of enquiries by our team, we located and arrested the alleged offender,¡± Detective Senior Sergeant Tiernan says.
¡°There is no doubt this incident would have been deeply concerning for people who live nearby, so this arrest is a great result for the community.
¡°Police take these matters extremely seriously and will continue to hold people to account,¡± he says.
A 32-year-old man will appear in Manukau District Court today charged with wounding with reckless disregard and firearms charges.
