The man wanted in connection with a shooting in Whanganui has handed himself into police.
Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Gorringe said Simon Nelley handed himself into the Whanganui Police Station shortly after 7pm.
"Mr Nelley voluntarily handed himself in this evening and is now helping the police with their investigation," said Mr Gorringe in a statement.
"The firearm has also been recovered."
Police appealed for Mr Nelley to hand himself in after another man arrived at hospital this afternoon suffering a gunshot to the leg.
