A shotgun has been seized during a search of a Māngere property, as part of the ongoing investigation into a shooting in Onehunga last month.
Police were called to a house on Arthur Street on 16 January following reports several people had arrived at a house and fired shots toward the front of the home.
A man inside the home was shot and critically injured.
Police are yet to confirm whether they believed the gun, found during the search of a Māngere property on Friday, was used in the shooting.
Detective Senior Sergeant Matt Bunce said they recovered a shotgun and ammunition.
“The public will appreciate we can’t share the details of the work ongoing, however we have a dedicated investigative team that is working to hold those involved to account for what happened that day.”
A 43-year-old man appeared in Auckland District Court at the weekend, charged with unlawful possession of a firearm as well as unlawful possession of ammunition.
Bunce called for any information that could help the ongoing investigation.
