Shannon Baker, 55, was found dead inside his home in the suburb of Sandringham.

Last month, the police ramped up their appeals for any information about what happened to Mr Baker.

Police said two houses were searched this morning and two men, aged 28 and 34, had been arrested.

They are charged with murder, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary.

They will appear in the Auckland District Court tomorrow.
