A man on the run from police since last year has been caught in Waikato with firearms and a stash of illegal drugs.
The 24-year-old man was arrested in Kihikihi, near Te Awamutu, overnight.
He was held in custody due to appear in Hamilton District Court today.
A post on the Te Awamutu Police Facebook page said two firearms, ammunition, cannabis and methamphetamine were seized from an address in Kihikihi.
"Sometimes you finish a shift and you feel like you have contributed to making the town a little safer. Tonight's one of those days," the post said.
