Meanwhile, earlier in Hastings on Friday two people were detained after security officers found ammunition when a group tried to enter Hastings District Court.
A Ministry of Justice spokeswoman said two items of ammunition were found in a person's jacket during routine screening. A woman in the same group was found with drug paraphernalia.
"The police attended and dealt with the matter," the spokeswoman said.
