Police are on the hunt for a large stash of firearms - including an Italian shotgun and a vintage beretta rifle and shotguns - that were stolen from a home in Bucklands Beach, Auckland, yesterday.
Along with the guns, 5000 rounds of shotgun ammunition were also taken in the raid on the Waller Avenue property.
A police spokeswoman said the owner of the guns and property had all the right firearms licences and security mechanisms - including safe storage - in his home.
"Everything that should have been in place, was in place. The firearms were legally within that property."
She added that the owner was not under investigation.
It was possible that the firearms could be sold on the black market.
"There are so many different avenues, many different options, and we're working through those at the moment."
A number plate, EAL626, was located at the top of the driveway. It appeared to have been ripped off a vehicle. This plate was cancelled on December 28, 2013.
Detective Inspector Dave Lynch said it was being treated with urgency.
"The investigation is still in its early stages. However Counties Manukau Police are treating this incident as a priority."
Anyone who has information relating to this incident can call Detective Senior Sergeant Darrell Harpur on 09 261 1300 or the anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111.
