Kia ora,

"Police arrest man wanted in relation to Wellington shooting" - Statement to be attributed to Detective Senior Sergeant Tim Leitch:

Police have this evening arrested a 29-year-old man in relation to a shooting in central Wellington on 23 April.

The man had a warrant to arrest for unlawful possession of a firearm.

He was taken into custody following the execution of a search warrant at a Flaxmere house tonight.

He will appear in Hasting District Court tomorrow (Saturday 7 May) on the firearms charge, and three charges of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

Police have also arrested two associates of the man this evening - a 27-year-old woman and a 29-year-old woman.

Police are currently interviewing the two women and no charges have been laid as yet.

Earlier today, Police arrested an 18-year-old Porirua man, who is charged with common assault in relation to an incident that occurred immediately prior to the shooting.

He will appear in Wellington District Court on 12 May.

The two victims of the shooting who had been in a serious condition in ICU have now been moved onto wards and are both stable.

We know this incident was concerning to Wellington residents, particularly those who live in the central city. We are pleased to have apprehended those allegedly involved and hope these arrests provide some reassurance to our community.

I would also like to reiterate that while some of those involved in this incident have gang links, we do not believe this incident is part of an ongoing gang conflict or that there is any increased risk to the public.

ENDS

SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Peach

Although we have featured Peach before, she is struggling to find a new home.

Although we have featured Peach before, she is struggling to find a new home.
"Although I didn't look my best when I first arrived at SPCA, it didn't take long for me to settle in and start looking healthier and happier. I charm most people I meet, and have lots of love to give. I can be a bit over the top when first meeting other dogs, but have gotten to make some friends and get to win them over with my exuberant greetings. If I were to go home to another dog, it would need to be one who is social and still eager to share playtime with me as an older dog may get annoyed with me. I am better suited to medium to large male dogs so this is my preference for a home. When it comes to training I come across very goofy at first, but am very motivated by treats and have started to pick up training easily. I'd like to continue training in my new home and show you what I'm capable of achieving. Although I can be full of beans at times, I really do love a good cuddle and chill out time with my humans, and once I have a good routine I am sure to flourish in my new home. I am so full of character and bound to provide you with lots of laughs. History of my previous homes is unknown, and for this reason combined with my personality, the team is looking for a home for me with confident children over 10 years or adults. I am looking for a home without cats."

Free H3 decking timber

Helena from Karori

Free H3 150x50 treated pine. Has been used for deck framing. Reasonable condition but still has nails in it. Range of lengths - about 12 @ 2.4-3m and about 15 longer lengths - 3.6-5.4m.

Would love it to be recycled rather than end up in landfill.
