Armed police carried out a pre-planned search warrant near Bayfair this afternoon.

A police spokeswoman said officers were executing the search warrant in the suburb of Omanu near Bayfair.

There was no other information available at this stage, she said.

A photographer at the scene said there were four police cars outside an address on Oceanbeach Rd near Berescourt Reserve.

He said it appeared police were looking for someone.

One resident said the road had been blocked for quite some time earlier and there had been cues all the way to Bayfair.
