## Resource

Early Friday morning, police in Palmerston North pulled off a swift takedown after CCTV spotted a man pointing a firearm in the Square. Thanks to real-time intel from camera operators, officers moved fast and arrested the suspect without incident. A nearby vehicle search turned up a gun, live ammo, and drugs — a major win for law enforcement. Acting Inspector Nick Lewer praised the teamwork, especially the role of surveillance in preventing harm. A 20-year-old is now facing firearm and drug charges and will appear in court.
