Two men are in custody after an armed offenders squad seized 15 guns from a house south of Tauranga today.
The squad executing a search warrant on Taumata Road at Pyes Pa, 16km south of Tauranga, early this morning found 13 rifles and two pistols as well as a large amount of ammunition, Senior Sergeant Glen Saunders said.
The rifles ranged in calibre from single shot to semi-automatic.
Two men, aged 48 and 59, were located at the house and were assisting police with further inquiries.
Neither held a firearms licence.
Mr Saunders said it was a concern that a cache of weapons and ammunition were readily accessible to the men.
