Two men have been arrested in Hutt Valley after a routine traffic stop led to the discovery of illegal guns and drugs.
It began when police officers signalled for a car to stop at about 11.30pm last night.
The vehicle "was seen driving erratically and came to a stop as it pulled into an address in Naenae," a police spokesperson said.
"The passenger was found to be in breach of his bail curfew and a subsequent search of the vehicle located ammunition and a firearm in the boot.
"Police discovered more ammunition, another firearm, methamphetamine, and cannabis plants inside the address."
The men, aged 48 and 45, are set to appear in Hutt Valley District Court today.
They face a number of charges including unlawful possession of firearms and possession of cannabis for supply.
