Nearly a dozen high-powered weapons were stolen from a house in Northland last night.
Residents of a house in Dargaville came home at 5.30pm to find 11 submachine guns and assault rifles had been stolen from them, as well as several electronic items.
A white station wagon was seen near
the house, and police want to hear from anyone who may have seen a similar car driving in a suspicious manner.
The owner of the property is a gun collector, and police believe the guns were stored properly.
Senior Sergeant Rob Huys said police are "very concerned that these firearms are now likely to be in the hands of the criminal fraternity and the obvious risk that this poses".
