Mid-Canterbury Police have arrested three people today at a rural Ashburton address.
?
They face several charges relating to drugs and firearms.
?
Senior Sergeant Leigh Jenkins, Sub-Area Commander for Ashburton, says the arrests were the result of a pre-planned search warrant by members of the Armed Offenders Squad, executed in relation to a burglary.
?
Police recovered a .22 rifle and ammunition during the search.
?
Two of those arrested, a man and a woman - will appear in the Ashburton District Court on 10 November.
?
Another person staying at the address has been summonsed to appear at a later date.
?
Today’s operation involved police from Ashburton, Timaru and Christchurch.
?
“Residents in the district can be assured that we will act on the information they give us about offending and illegal activity.
?
Our staff do an awful lot of work in order to identify, monitor, and prosecute those who create harm in our communities.
?
“Criminals can expect to see us, and we will call on the resources of our district colleagues in Christchurch and Timaru to hold these people to account.
?
”To the members of the public who reported suspicious activity when they saw it, Senior Sergeant Jenkins had a simple message: Thank you.
?
“We rely on the public to help stamp out this offending in our community.
?
When someone supplies information, it helps Police to form a picture of what’s happening in our communities.
?
“You may feel the information you have is not significant, however, it could be the missing piece of the puzzle Police need to put offenders before the court.
?
”Information can be passed to Police via 105 by phone on online, or alternatively information can be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at .
