Nine firearms have been seized and four people arrested after police carried out a search warrant at a Whanganui home last week.
Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Carey Priest said items were found throughout the house, shed, and in a roof space at the Puriri St property on Thursday.
“Officers found a significant number of items and arrested four people, one of whom had a warrant out for her arrest.”
Priest said the seizure of the items was an “excellent result” from a combination of police teams.
“Nine firearms were seized ranging from .22 calibre rifles, through to .308 calibre and other high-powered rifles.
“Some of these firearms had allegedly been stolen during a burglary the day prior, other items stolen during that burglary were also recovered.”
A small cannabis growing operation was also uncovered at the address.
