A man has been arrested for his part in a home burglary involving a gun in Wairarapa.
The police say a resident woken by knocking about 1.30am on Saturday morning was confronted in their hallway by four people.
One had a long-barrelled firearm and another was brandishing a hammer.
The group stole personal items before escaping in a vehicle.
Detective Senior Sergeant Barry Bysouth said items stolen in the robbery as well as a gun were found in a search of a 30-year-old man's house.
He will appear in the Hutt Valley District Court tomorrow.
The other three people involved have not yet been found.
