Armed police flooded into a Dunedin holiday park on Thursday night to arrest a man wanted over a shooting in Invercargill.
Sergeant Matt Lee, of Dunedin, said armed police went to the Dunedin Holiday Park, in St Kilda, at 8.20pm after a wanted man was sighted.
He was wanted for multiple warrants, including failing to appear in court and historical offending in Invercargill.
The 35-year-old man was arrested without incident and appeared in Dunedin District Court yesterday on eight new charges relating to historical offences in Invercargill, including arson, unlawful possession of a firearm and wounding with intent.
He was remanded in custody without plea.
His next appearance will be in the Invercargill District Court on November 28.
It is understood he was wanted in relation to a Tay St shooting in Invercargill in July.
One person was taken to hospital in the shooting, while their attacker fled the scene.
