1 min read

An armed man being sought by police today has given himself up.

Police had been searching for Ihaka Paul today after reports of him chasing a man down a Wairoa street with a gun.  He has been wanted by police since January 29, when he was involved in an armed incident in Hastings.

Paul gave himself up to police around 7.15pm tonight at a house in Frasertown near Wairoa.  There were no issues with his arrest and no-one was injured.  He will be facing a number of charges related to both incidents.
