Aben said enquiries were ongoing to locate others believed to be linked to the firearms. “The momentum behind Operation Atlas is continuing and we are heartened by the feedback and support we are receiving from our Wairoa community. “What we are working towards is a place where these people’s activities are not putting our community in harm’s way”. Wednesday's warrants were led by Wairoa investigations staff, supported by the Wairoa Public Safety Team, road policing, and rural staff, along with assistance from Gisborne and Hawke’s Bay Gang Focus Units, Armed Offender Squads, Public Safety Team, and the Eastern Dog Section.
