Many of the items were builder's tools and equipment. Police also found a firearm, ammunition and drugs.
A 30-year-old man was arrested at the house and would appear in the Dunedin District court on Tuesday.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
