One man’s afternoon nap quickly turned into a court appearance with two firearms safely taken off the street.

A Police unit patrolling near Sylvia Park in Mt Wellington came across a man slumped over the wheel of his vehicle at around 3.30pm.

Senior Sergeant Steve Albrey, Counties Manukau West Area Response Manager says the unit initially stopped to check on the man.

“Our officers wanted to make sure the man wasn’t experiencing a medical emergency and whether he needed any help,” he says.
