Police are reassuring residents of an Auckland suburb that they will maintain a presence in the area, in the wake of another firearms incident.
Officers were called to McCullough Avenue in Mt Roskill at around 4am today, after reports of a shot being fired.
No one was injured and a 36-year-old man has been charged with unlawfully possessing a firearm. He is due to appear in court next week.
Officers are already investigating another incident in the area three weeks ago.
Detective Senior Sergeant Glenn Baldwin said police were aware the public was worried about recent events.
He said in the latest case, police dogs, the Eagle helicopter and investigators were swiftly sent to the scene.
