A speeding motorist has led Auckland Police to discovering a loaded firearm and nitrous oxide.
On Thursday evening, a road policing unit was carrying out usual patrols in Epsom when a speeding saloon caught an officer’s attention.
Senior Sergeant Dave Plunkett, from Auckland City Road Policing, says a traffic stop was carried out on Green Lane West around 5.30pm.
“As an officer was approaching the vehicle, he has observed the two occupants allegedly trying to hide balloons,” he says.
