Waitematā Police have simultaneously swooped in on three properties, seizing a significant cache of firearms.
A number of Police, assisted by the Armed Offenders Squad, executed the warrants at New Lynn properties on Friday 15 December.
Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Williams, Waitematā CIB, says a man was arrested and is facing serious firearms related charges in court.
Thirty-five firearms were located along with a range of ammunition in excess of 15,000 rounds for those firearms.
“These search warrants were the result of an investigation into the unlawful possession of firearms allegedly belonging to this individual.
“As a result of our enquiries, a significant cache of firearms, ammunition, and explosives were located from two of the searched addresses.”
A 53-year-old man was also located at the address and taken into custody without incident.
While the man did hold a firearms licence, many of the firearms located were allegedly unlawfully in his possession.
Detective Senior Sergeant Williams says the man’s licence has since been suspended by Te Tari Pūreke, the Firearms Safety Authority.
“The man is facing 29 charges relating to the unlawful possession of firearms and magazines, as well as an additional charge of possession for supply of cannabis,” he says.
The man has appeared in the Waitākere District Court and is due to reappear on 8 January 2024.
Detective Senior Sergeant Williams says he would like to acknowledge the Policing teams who worked to put this individual before the Court.
“This has been the accumulation of significant work from staff across many different workgroups and I thank those who have played a part in bringing this to a resolution.”
Police would like to reassure the public that Police remain committed to holding those who engage in this behaviour accountable.
“Anyone who is in breach in of the Arms Act can expect to face those consequences,” Detective Senior Sergeant Williams says.
“We continue to work to ensure our communities are and feel safe.”
As this matter is now before the courts Police are limited in providing further comment.
Probably the shotguns, antiques and hunting rifles could’ve been left out of the picture.
Not really the type of guns people are talking about.
What IF the firearms were purchased legally?
Are any of them non-firing collectors items?
How did the cops find out about this…’man’ ?
Were the firearms in an approved gun safe?
Has the man threatened anyone with these firearms?
Is the ‘man’a gang member?
OR- is he a supporter of one of the populist political parties and writes his concerns to the Parliament?
Is he on a watch list due to Five-Eyes intel sharing?
Perhaps he is worried that we could be invaded, and do not have enough firearms that are appropriate for the defence of the nation if the citizenry is called upon to do just that…!
In any case, hopefully Barrister Nicholas Taylor who specialises in Firearms Law can help the ‘man’. Check out Nick Taylor’s website which has good info in the event you are …’visited’.
Obviously, something is coming our way in 2024, and the government doesn’t want John Q. Citizen to resist his induced Cyber-Victorian slavery and have no means to defend against invaders or a government that has already committed delayed genocide in the form of untested bio-weapon ‘vaccines’.
All a part of the population reduction program by Klaus Schwab, who along with his fellow Zionists are running the show globally!
