An investigation into a stolen Bentley has led Auckland police to four more stolen vehicles and a loaded shotgun allegedly hidden underneath a child's bed.
Waitematā East’s tactical crime unit began investigations on December 1 after keys were taken from the luxury Bentley Bentayga SUV owner's house in the early hours of the morning.
Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Williams said there were valuables in the car, including a handbag and bank cards.
Investigations led police to an address in West Auckland's Glen Eden last week.
“Police searched the property, locating four other stolen vehicles on site,” Williams said.
“Concerningly, a loaded shotgun was found hidden underneath a bed where a young boy was sleeping.”
The firearm was seized and a 31-year-old man and 27-year-old woman were arrested.
The pair faced charges of dishonesty relating to the alleged use of stolen credit cards, and unlawful possession of a firearm.
However, no Bentley was found at the property with police eventually recovering the luxury SUV from West Auckland's Huia late last week.
“This is a fantastic result with several investigation teams from the North Shore and West Auckland working together, recovering vehicles and a firearm," Williams said.
“Police are continuing to investigate the initial burglary and theft and we cannot rule out further arrests being made.”
The two arrested had already appeared in the Waitākere District Court and would reappear in March 2026.
