Police have arrested and charged two men, both 26, following a traffic stop in Windsor, Invercargill on Sunday 8 October.

Around 2:50pm police received a report of a firearm being presented following a fight at an address on St Andrews Street earlier in the day.

The vehicle was seen by staff travelling in the Windsor area and signaled to stop.

The two men were taken into custody at the scene after LSD and cannabis were allegedly located in the vehicle.

They are due to reappear in Invercargill District Court on October 24.
