Police seek information from Palmerston North residents

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Following a firearms incident in Palmerston North, Police are asking the public for assistance.

What you need to know:
- Palmerston North Police are seeking information from the public following a firearms incident.
- The incident took place outside a hotel on Rangitikei Street, near King Street, on Sunday 3 December.
- It's believed a number of shots were discharged at or near a group of men outside the bar around 1am.
- Police responded and stopped a group of men nearby, locating two .22 calibre firearms in their vehicle, however we are satisfied that these are not the same firearms that were discharged at the hotel. The five were arrested and charged with unlawful possession of firearms and will appear in the Palmerston North District Court this week.

Police are continuing to investigate the incident near the hotel and are working to identify those who were involved.

Police wish to hear from anyone with information with regards to the discharge of the shotgun and the persons responsible and urge them to call 105 quoting file number 231203/5327.
