Nelson Bays commander Paul Borrell said the 33-year-old was a person of interest in relation to the firearms incident, in which a man was injured.
"We very much appreciate the support and assistance from the Motueka and wider Nelson Bays communities. We are very aware of the concern that such incidents cause," Borrell said.
