A Head Hunters gang associate was arrested on Thursday morning, and a rifle was thrown from a car, when police descended on him.

Footage of the arrest showed the 31-year-old man driving erratically on grass before the car stopped.

A man outside the car then reached in, pulled out the rifle and threw it into nearby bushes.

The driver got out of the car and knelt down as police arrested him on serious charges after his alleged reckless driving played out across Auckland overnight.

Well done to the family member that took the gun off him, that could have been a whole lot worse otherwise.

How many guns and how many people are we talking about?

Edit: OK, the full article has an extra sentence that helps
