Kawerau accused pleads not guilty

Rhys Warren, the man accused of shooting at police during a cannabis raid in Kawerau, has pleaded not guilty to all charges of using a firearm against a police officer.

The 27-year-old's case was scheduled for tomorrow at the Rotorua District Court, but the Crown and the defence dealt with it in the judge's chambers today.

​Warren's​ next appearance will instead be on May 31 at the Tauranga District Court.

He will be trialled by jury on all charges, as elected by the ​Defence Counsel​.
