Police have arrested a 34-year-old man after a shooting in Manurewa last Wednesday.
Detective Inspector Shaun Vickers says at around 8.45pm on 18 February, Police were called to Marumaru Lane after reports a person had been shot.
"The offender has gone to the door and asked for the victim, before allegedly shooting him when he came to the door," he says.
"The victim was taken to hospital in a serious condition, and was very fortunate to have not suffered life-threatening injuries."
Enquiries into the incident led to Police to carry out search warrants, supported by the Armed Offenders Squad, in south Auckland on Tuesday afternoon.
"Staff carried out these warrants at properties in Takanini and Manurewa around 3pm," says Detective Inspector Vickers.
"The alleged offender was not located at either address, but as a result he handed himself into Papakura Police Station not long afterwards and was taken into custody."
Detective Inspector Vickers is pleased two arrests have now been made over the offending.
"We will not tolerate this type of offending and two people are now before the courts," he says.
"Further arrests cannot be ruled out as the investigation continues."
The man will appear in the Manukau District Court today, jointly charged with wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and commission of an offence with a firearm.
A 29-year-old woman, who is co-accused, will also appear in court today after initially being arrested last week.
