A man has been arrested in relation to a shooting at the Ōtara shopping centre last month.

Police were alerted to the incident when a man presented to hospital with injuries on 7 November.

The Armed Offenders Squad yesterday executed a search warrant at a Manurewa address, and a 36-year-old man was arrested in relation to the incident.

He has been charged with attempted murder and is due to appear in the Manukau District Court tomorrow.
