The Hawke's Bay Gang Focus Unit, and Precision Targeting Team descended on the property on Tuesday at a Park Rd North address, and located and seized firearms, including two military style firearms,along with the drugs.
The sole occupant at the address, a 35-year-old man, was arrested and will appear in the Hastings District Court.
He will face charges including possession of methamphetamine for supply, possession of a Class B drug (MDMA) for supply, possession of cannabis for supply, unlawful possession of a restricted weapon (Firearm), unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of ammunition.
"One of the firearms was a restricted weapon and we located hundreds of rounds of ammunition," says Sergeant Kane Foote.
"Locating these illicit drugs and illegally held firearms was a significant result and we're pleased to have taken them out of circulation where they can't cause harm within our community."
