A man has been charged after allegedly trying to import stun guns into New Zealand.

Customs have intercepted three packages this week, each containing 10 stun guns sent from Thailand to an address in east Auckland.

A further eight stun guns, which were imported earlier, were located at that same address.

Another two stun guns, which had been sold by the offender, from the earlier shipment have also been recovered.

The 25 year old has been charged with the importation, possession and sale of the guns.
