Police are following “strong lines of enquiry”, after an Auckland shooting on Saturday left a man with moderate injuries.
Officers were conducting patrols in the Clevedon Road area in the suburb of Papakura on Saturday morning, when they heard what was believed to be gunshots at about 11.20am.
A short time later, a man was transported to hospital in a moderate condition with a gunshot injury.
A police spokesperson said they were following “strong lines of inquiry” into what had occurred.
“Initial indications are that the victim and the offenders are known to each other, and there is no risk to the wider community.”
Officers, including the Armed Offenders Squad, had been conducting enquiries at a Grove Road address on Saturday afternoon, but no arrests were made.
Cordons that had been in place in Grove Road were stood down.
The spokesperson said Clevedon Road and Grove Road residents could expect to see a continued police presence on Saturday evening, as officers continued enquiries.
They asked that anyone with information that might assist their investigation contact them via 105.
