Charges are yet to be decided for a man at the centre of a 19-hour armed stand-off with police at a house in Auckland's Eastern Beach.
The 38-year-old is now in custody and assisting police with enquiries after he was arrested this morning.
Teargas was used at the property where the man had been holed up since before 1pm yesterday, in order to safely arrest him, police said. No shots were fired.
Police were called to the scene following a domestic incidence at the address over the weekend. As officers approached the house, the man refused to engage with police, and because he had a firearm the area surrounding the Esplanade at Eastern Beach was cordoned off.
The Armed Offenders Squad and the police negotiation teams were called to the scene.
