A 37-year-old man with affiliations to the Mongols
Motorcycle Club was arrested and will appear in front of the
Tauranga District Court tomorrow on charges of possession of
methamphetamine for supply and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Among the list of items seized was 14 grams of
methamphetamine, $40,000 in cash and and a semi-automatic rifle
along with what police have described as a "significant" amount of
ammunition.
Police were acting on a search warrant relating to an
incident earlier this year, in which multiple volleys of bullets
were said to have been fired at the Hakuore Street property.
Police are still investigating the matter and have
asked for anyone with information to come forward by phoning 105,
referencing the case number 200128/9375.
Alternatively, information can be submitted
anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 5biteme1.
