Police have made an arrest and seized a vehicle as investigations continue into a fatal shooting in Auckland's Mt Wellington last weekend.
Armed police descended on the scene on Penrose Rd after "reports of a firearm being discharged outside a business" at about 10.40pm on Saturday night.
A man was located dead in a vehicle outside a vape shop.
Acting Detective Inspector Chris Allan said a search warrant was carried out in the Panmure area on Tuesday evening.
A 26-year-old man was also located at the address and arrested without incident, he said.
“This man has since been spoken to and he has been charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder."
A vehicle of interest in the investigation was also located during the search and seized for further investigation.

"Our thoughts are with the deceased’s family at this time," Allan said.
Police would maintain a "high presence" in the east Auckland area as inquiries continued, he added.
Anyone with relevant information was asked to contact police on 105.
