All three are due to appear in the Manukau District Court tomorrow.Detective senior sergeant Gary Lendrum of the Manurewa CIB says the arrests followed the execution of a search warrant at a Manurewa address.Police later found a loaded sawn-off double barrel shot gun, an unloaded sawn-off single barrel shot gun and an unloaded riffle.
