Four people have been arrested after the armed offenders squad stormed a property near Oriental Bay.

Three of them, 27-year-old woman and two 26-year-old men, have been bailed. A 23-year-old man was remanded in custody.

All four will appear in the court today charged with drugs and firearms offences.

A police spokesperson told the Herald the warrant is pre-planned, and that the squad had only arrived at the home “recently”.
