Alleged Morrinsville shooter Rollie James Heke will face three charges of attempted murder of police officers when he appears in court.
The 36-year-old was arrested early today at a home in the Kaingaroa Forest township, south-east of Rotorua, police said.
Officers spent two weeks looking for Heke across the country after he allegedly shot at police with a military-style semi-automatic weapon on August 13 in the Waikato town of Morrinsville.
Police said he was taken into custody without incident after armed officers surrounded a property.
He is due to appear in the Rotorua District Court on Friday afternoon, facing eight charges including attempted murder, unlawful possession of a weapon, failing to stop for police and methamphetamine-related offences.
