1 min read

Police have recovered drugs and firearms during a search warrant executed at an address in Bishopdale, Christchurch, this afternoon.

As a result of the search, a 45-year-old man has been charged with firearms, drugs and restricted weapons offences.

¡°Police will continue to take positive action against gang members, and their associates, in possession of firearms and other restricted weapons,¡± says Detective Senior Sergeant Joel Syme, Canterbury Organised Crime Unit.

¡°It is disappointing to see these individuals diverting Police resources during what is already a very busy time with the Covid-19 response.¡±?

The man is due to appear at Christchurch District Court on Saturday 11 April.
