Police have arrested a man and seized a shotgun as part of an investigation into a shooting in the Auckland suburb of Onehunga last month.
A man was critically injured at a property on Arthur St at around 11am on January 16 when "several people" arrived and fired at the front of the house.
At the time, Detective Senior Sergeant Matt Bunce described the incident as "targeted".
"We understand this sort of violence is very unsettling for the community and our investigation will focus on holding anyone involved to account.
In an update on Monday, Bunce said the investigation team carried out a search warrant at Māngere property last week.
"Our detectives were supported by the armed offenders squad, in which we have recovered a shotgun and ammunition," he said.
"At this stage we are unable to confirm this firearm was involved in the original offending."
Bunce said police were unable to share any further details of the investigation.
"We have a dedicated investigative team that is working to hold those involved to account for what happened that day. We have no tolerance for blatant violence involving firearms in our community."
Anyone with relevant information should contact police on 105.
