Police officers searching a Whangarei home for stolen jeans found more than they bargained for - drugs and a gun.
Robert Blewden, 36, and Andrea Baker, 28, appeared in Whangarei District Court yesterday on various charges after police searched a Kamo Rd house last month.
Blewden pleaded guilty to charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition. In other unrelated matters he pleaded guilty to breach of bail and using a document for pecuniary advantage.
He was remanded in custody to appear for sentencing on December 5. In the meantime he would be back in court on October 21 to apply for electronic bail.
Baker pleaded guilty to possession of a pipe for smoking methamphetamine and possession of cannabis.
