Two people have been arrested and charged after police found illegal firearms and meth at what they believe to be a clan lab.

Waitemata Police carried out two search warrants on Thursday morning following an investigation into the manufacturing and supply of meth.

Sergeant Geoff Patterson says they found two illegal firearms -  an AK-47 and a submachine gun- at the Glenfield Road addresses.

"An alleged clan lab was also located along with a quantity of methamphetamine," he says.

"Cash and jewellery have also been seized that are believed to have derived from the sale of methamphetamine."

A 60-year-old man will be appearing in the North Shore District Court on Friday for charges of unlawful possession of a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition.

A 44-year-old man will also appear on a charge of possession of meth.

Patterson says further charges are expected to be laid as enquiries continue.
