Wellington Police uncovered a significant haul of drugs, firearms, and ammunition during a search in Waikanae Beach last Friday evening, 15 November.
Police were initially at the residence of a Mongrel Mob associate for an unrelated matter around 7:30 PM but quickly discovered cannabis on the premises.
A subsequent search warrant led to the discovery of a large quantity of cannabis plant material and resin.
Among the seized items were a prohibited Military-Style Semi-Automatic (MSSA) .22 rifle, a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, two prohibited .22 magazines with a 16-round capacity, over 400 rounds of .22 ammunition, 25 rounds of shotgun ammunition, and two rifle silencers.
A 35-year-old male, who does not possess a valid New Zealand Firearms License, was arrested at the scene.
“Police work hard to hold offenders to account, especially those with the potential to cause serious harm in our communities, such as people unlawfully in possession of firearms,” said Constable Sam Lewis of the Wellington Gang Disruption Unit.
The suspect has been charged with multiple offences and remains in custody. He is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, 20 November 2024.

We need our MSSA’s back and we need to return to the former Firearms Licence renewal policies in the event we are invaded.
As it stands now, we have no way to defend ourselves from any invader in the event of a National Emergency.
