Police are hunting for a Kaikohe man who allegedly pointed a firearm at a group of people who turned up at his house carrying steering locks and other improvised weapons.
The incident unfolded at a house on Raihara St about 11am yesterday.
A witness told the Advocate she was ata shop across the road when she saw seven people get out of a white van which had pulled up outside the address.
''A couple of them were holding steering locks in their hands. Another fellow had something else metal in his hand. It didn't look very good at all.''
