Police discovered two guns inside two separate vehicles next to the drivers during routine vehicle stops across Auckland. Police said they seized a 3D‑printed gun and a shotgun just hours apart overnight. Relieving Auckland central area commander inspector Wayne Kitcher said officers conducting vehicle stops in central Auckland last night pulled over a vehicle on Customs St West about 12.20am. He said while speaking with the driver, officers noticed a gun near the driver’s door and requested additional units. “The driver was quickly taken into custody, and a search of the vehicle located a 3D-printed firearm with ammunition,” Kitcher said. Police said a 37-year-old man will appear in Auckland District Court today charged with unlawful possession of a prohibited firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and possession of methamphetamine. Just hours later, Kitcher said officers stopped a vehicle allegedly speeding on Carrington Rd in Mount Albert. “While police were speaking with the occupants of the vehicle, they saw a suspicious looking zip-lock bag in the centre console,” Kitcher said. “A further search of the vehicle has then located a shotgun in the boot.” Two men, aged 41 and 27, and a 42-year-old woman have been charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and will appear in Auckland District Court today. Kitcher said police are pleased that another two firearms were now off the streets and out of the Auckland community.
