A man has been arrested following a shooting in Wellington earlier this month.
Several shots were fired at a house in the suburb of Naenae on Sunday.
Police arrested the 32-year-old man on Thursday.
“A number of search warrants were executed in the Wellington area this week, leading to the arrest earlier today,” Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Charlie Munro said in a statement.
“The man is due to appear in the Hutt Valley District Court on Friday 17 May, facing charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and discharging a firearm with intent to intimidate.”
Act Det Snr Sgt Munro said firing at a house is a “reckless and dangerous act” that is not acceptable for the community or police.
“We will continue to hold people to account for unlawful use of firearms.”
He said police are “pleased with today’s arrest”.
“Any incident involving firearms presents a significant risk to the intended targets, as well as innocent members of the public.”
