Attributable to Superintendent Tony Hill, Canterbury District Commander:
Three men have been arrested in relation to the serious incident at a Hoani Street, Northcote property on Wednesday night that left four people injured.
The men, aged 19, 31 and 40, have been charged with aggravated wounding and aggravated robbery.
Two are due to appear in the Christchurch District Court today, and the 40-year-old is due to appear in Dunedin.
Police are not seeking anyone else in relation to the incident.
This was a coordinated effort focused on one clear outcome: holding those responsible to account and protecting our community.
We will not tolerate this type of offending. If you choose to commit serious violence, we will act swiftly.
Incidents like this understandably concern people. Please be reassured this was a contained incident, and there is no ongoing risk.
Residents can expect to see Police at the Hoani Street address again today as our scene examination continues.
