A P lab, firearms, and a large amount of stolen property have been found at an address in Southland.

Invercargill police made the discovery at Taramoa yesterday.

Detective Sergeant Mark McCloy said the property, just northwest of Invercargill, has been searched and testing by Environmental and Scientific Research scientists confirmed that the property was being used to manufacture P.

He said a large quantity of stolen property and firearms was found, along with methamphetamines. Police found cannabis plants as well.

McCloy said two men were arrested and charged.

A 36-year-old Southland man has been charged with theft and drug offences. A 33-year-old Christchurch man who was wanted for breaching bail conditions has been recalled to prison.

The men will be facing further charges.
