Two arrested over shooting at Manurewa house
The shooting also comes days after a 22-year-old woman and 26-year-old man were arrested after a shooting in the suburb of Manurewa.
Police were called to Frobisher Way, Manurewa, about 1.15am on June 15, after a report of a shot being fired towards a house.
A scene examination located evidence including a bullet and casing, as well as damage to the house.
The man and woman were arrested on Saturday and charged with wilful damage and intentional damage causing danger to life. They were due to appear in court on Monday.
Police said in a statement the incident was isolated and those involved were known to each other.
“It is not believed to be connected to other recent firearms incidents in Counties Manukau.”
