Far North police are appealing for information about a burglary where multiple firearms and two vehicles were stolen.
An investigation began this week into the burglary at a rural property in the Kaeo area.
Officers believe the burglary has occurred some time between 4-14 September.
Detective Brooke Chambers, of Northland's Organised Crime and Gang Disruption Unit, said finding the firearms was a top priority.
"Firearms in the hands of the wrong people pose a significant risk to our communities and we would like to return these to the custody of their rightful owner."
A white 1997 Toyota Landcruiser 70 series 'Troopy' and a 1987 Harley Davidson Sportster motorcycle were also stolen.
Detective Chambers said all information, even if it seemed insignificant, could assist the investigation.
"We are appealing to community members who have disturbed strangers on their properties or witnessed any suspicious activity to please come forward."
She said anything urgent should be reported by calling 111.
Otherwise, police can be contacted online or by calling 105 using the reference number 250915/2151.
Anonymous reports can be made via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111/Operation Garin.
