A 21-year-old woman charged in connection with a deadly shooting was granted bail.
Meanwhile, a man also wanted for death has been detained by the police.
Desmond Bourne and Serene Tilsley were wanted after Zane Smith, 37, was found dead in his car on Wayby Station Rd in Wellsford, north of Auckland, with a gunshot wound on Saturday.
Detective Inspector Scott Beard said Thursday that Tilsley turned himself in to police and was charged with being an accessory to the murder.

Desmond Bourne and Serene Tilsley were wanted in connection with Zane Smith’s death.
No statement was produced and he was granted bail.
Tilsley is due to appear in Auckland High Court on December 16.
Beard said investigations were ongoing, but at this time police are not looking for anyone else in connection with Smith’s death.
Smith and Bourne were believed to have known each other, Beard said, and the murder is not treated as a random attack.
Smith has been remembered by his friends as an “amazing person” who was an incredibly loyal friend.
