Police have arrested two people after a police car was allegedly shot at in Te Teko earlier this month.
Detective Senior Sergeant Paul Wilson said in a statement today that police executed two search warrants yesterday, one in Kawerau and one in Te Teko.
“Two people were subsequently arrested, and both have been charged with using a firearm against law enforcement.”
A 31-year-old man from Kawerau was due to appear in the Manukau District Court and a 27-year-old man from Te Teko was due to appear in the Whakatāne District Court today.
“Police have zero tolerance for offending involving firearms, particularly when police are targeted,” Wilson said.
