Attribute to National Organised Crime Group Director Detective Superintendent Greg Williams:
?
Inquiries have continued this week in relation to Operation Seltos, Van and Equinox, as police track down further evidence linked to these organised crime investigations.
?
In respect to Operation Seltos last night Police executed a warrant at a Manukau storage locker seizing six revolvers, a glock pistol, an Uzi submachine gun and ammunition.?
?
Every gun like these that Police take out of the hands of gangs, makes our communities safer.
?
The firearms were found along with approximately half a kilogram of methamphetamine and yet to be identified tablets.? These items were located alongside a Head Hunter motorcycle gang patch and gang clothing.??
?
A 27-year-old man was arrested and charged with unlawfully possessing the firearms.? He appeared in the Manukau District Court today.? Further charges in relation to the seized property are likely.
?
Post the Operation Spyglass termination that took place on Monday 7 June, Police have executed a number of search warrants, including at the headquarters of the Waikato Comancheros gang where four motorcycles were restrained.
?
As of today, more than five million dollars in assets and cash has been restrained. This figure is updated from the initial $3.7 million calculated on Tuesday 8 June.
?
To date, in relation to Operation Spyglass, a total of 36 people have been arrested and charged with a wide range of serious drug, firearms and money laundering offences.
?
Police will continue to target organised criminal groups and those who are in possession of unlawful firearms.? We want to ensure our communities are resilient and feel safe.??
?
As the operation is ongoing, Police are not ruling out further arrests, restraints or charges.?
?
As there are now people before the court, Police are not able to comment further.
