A man accused of shooting four police armed offenders squad members in the Bay of Plenty has been found guilty of all six charges he faced.
Rhys Warren, 28, went on trial in the High Court at Hamilton this month, denying six charges, including attempted murder, wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and using a firearm against a law enforcement officer.
The jury returned its verdicts on Friday afternoon, finding him guilty on all six.
Constable Regan Mauheni, Constable Damian White, Constable Andrew Flinn, and Sergeant Logan Marsh were all shot by Warren in March last year at a rural address near Kawerau.
The accused barricaded himself in his home during a 22-hour stand off with police after they entered the Onepu Springs Road property to remove cannabis plants, when shots were fired at their spotter plane.

Fantastic result. What an absolute scumbag. I hope you rot inside. How this guy was able to victimise those police officers again by questioning them at the trial beggars belief. I hope someone makes you their pet in prison!
