Four gang members have been charged with firearms related offences following a number of shootings in Gisborne on October 13 and 15.
Inspector Darren Paki said three of the men, aged 24, 26, and 33 were arrested as a result of three search warrants last week.
The fourth man, aged 31, was arrested following a search warrant last Friday.
At that search, police also seized a firearm and ammunition.
Three of the arrested men are scheduled to appear in Gisborne District Court today.
The 31-year-old faces charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, along with other charges linked to separate incidents in early September.
The 26-year-old faces charges of wilful damage and threatening to kill, and the 24-year-old faces charges of robbery and discharging a firearm with intent to intimidate.
The 33-year-old man is due to appear in the Gisborne District Court Wednesday November 8 on charges of unlawful possession of shot gun ammunition, breach of prison release conditions, and possession of cannabis.
Paki said he would like to thank the public for their help with the investigation.
Anyone with further information is urged to contact police immediately.
