Gun recovered after South Dunedin AOS callout

Police have recovered a high-powered air rifle from the scene of a fight in St Kilda, but have not located the person who allegedly brandished it.

The Armed Offenders Squad was called shortly after 5pm following multiple calls concerning a fight, including reports of a male presenting a firearm at persons within the group, Senior Sergeant Mel Aitken said.

Police cordoned off a large part of the area, while AOS called for one of the men to leave a property on Prince Albert Rd.

Several people were spoken to and are now helping police with their inquiries.

The persons involved in the altercation were known to each other and it appears this was in retaliation to an earlier incident involving the parties.
