Not guilty pleas have been deemed for a King Cobras gang member accused of possessing a 3D-printed semi-automatic weapon - among other gun-related offences.
Interim name suppression, however, will remain in place for the 24-year-old. The defendant did not attend today as a brief hearing was held on his behalf at the Manukau District Court.
Police said they attended an address in East Tamaki on November 6 where a 3D-printed firearm and ammunition were located.
"A search warrant was subsequently carried out at an address in Ōtāhuhu where air rifles were located," a police spokesperson earlier told the Herald.
The 3D gun was identified as an FGC-9 JStark1809 - a semi-automatic pistol that's design was released on the internet in 2020.
