Five people are due to appear in court on Monday, after police were led to a clandestine drug laboratory in the Auckland suburb of Avondale.

Detective Senior Sergeant Anthony Darville says officers received a report of a person with a firearm on St Jude Street just before 6pm Saturday.

The police Eagle helicopter guided armed officers to a property, where equipment associated with a clan lab was found.

Three women aged 39, 43 and 53, and a 57-year-old man were charged with possessing equipment with intent and further charges have not been ruled out.

A 27-year-old man found at the scene has been charged with aggravated robbery with an offensive weapon.
