Huntly gunshots investigation: Four arrests and more expected, police say

Four men have been arrested and charged after gunshots were fired at a Huntly home this month.

Police were called shortly before 7pm on April 2 after multiple gunshots were fired at the residential address.

Detective Sergeant Rahul Badri of the Waikato West Crime Investigation Branch said no one was injured.

“Any report of firearms offences can be dangerous to the community and police are pleased to have brought this matter before the court to hold these people accountable.”

Three men, aged 20, 25 and 27, were due to appear in the Hamilton District Court today.

They face charges including participation in an organised criminal group, dangerous act with intent to cause grievous bodily harm using a firearm, intentional damage and unlawful possession of a firearm.

A 54-year-old man was also arrested on April 5 and is due to appear in the Hamilton District Court on April 30.

Badri said police executed search warrants in Huntly and Te Kauwhata involving members of the Armed Offenders Squad, Waikato Criminal Investigation Branch and other specialist police staff.

“Our investigation remains ongoing, and police are continuing to make inquiries. Further arrests are anticipated in the coming days.”
