An armed police operation in Te Puke yesterday was completely unrelated to the search for Rollie Heke, says police.
A 20-year-old Te Puke man appeared in Tauranga District Court on firearms charges after his arrest in an armed police operation east of the town.
Te Matai Road was closed for a time, while the Armed Offenders Squad and Tauranga Police executed a search warrant on a house in Te Kahika Road West on Tuesday.
'This warrant was in regard to Tauranga offending, unrelated to the current manhunt for Rollie Heke,” says a police spokesperson.
'Police would like to thank the public for their patience while Te Mati Road was closed.”
