Police are continuing to make progress in investigating a shooting in Onehunga last month.
The Auckland City Organised Crime Unit has been investigating the incident on Arthur Street on 16 January 2026.
Detective Senior Sergeant Matt Bunce says the investigation team executed a search warrant at a Māngere property on Friday.
"Our detectives were supported by the Armed Offenders Squad, in which we have recovered a shotgun and ammunition," he says.
"At this stage we are unable to confirm this firearm was involved in the original offending."
Police have charged a 43-year-old man with unlawful possession of a firearm as well as unlawful possession of ammunition.
He appeared in the Auckland District Court over the weekend.
"We have no tolerance for blatant violence involving firearms in our community," Detective Senior Sergeant Bunce says.
"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."
Detective Senior Sergeant Bunce continues to call for any information to assist the ongoing investigation.
If you can assist, update Police online now or call 105 using the reference number 260116/9278.
