    Four people are appearing in court today, over a firearms incident in Whangarei last month


    The group was arrested, during armed searches of six properties in Northland and Christchurch yesterday, following a drive-by shooting of a house in Kamo on May 7.

    During the search warrants in Christchurch, Police also located methamphetamine and more than 50-thousand dollars in cash.

    They've been charged with a number of serious driving, arson and organised crime offences.

    Two teenagers will appear in court in Christchurch today, while two men in their 40s will appear in court in Whangarei.
