Police were alerted to the shooting early on Saturday.

Three people have been arrested after a man was shot in Te Kauwhata, police say.

The injured man went to Waikato Hospital with a gunshot wound just before 7am on Saturday, said Waikato West Detective Sergeant Rahul Badri.

“It was determined the man had been injured in Te Kauwhata, and police attended the address to make further inquiries.

“At the address, police located and seized a firearm and ammunition, and two women and one man were arrested.”

The arrests were a good outcome for both the alleged victim and the Te Kauwhata community, Badri said.

He praised police staff for their “quick actions”, essential to the arrests.

“Not only am I pleased to be able to hold these offenders to account, I am also happy to have removed a firearm from circulation in the community.

“Police continue to support those affected by the incident and reassure the community that there is no ongoing risk.”
