An armed offenders callout just outside Thames has been resolved.
Inspector Kerry Watson, from the northern police communications centre, said police located a "person of interest" who had been sought earlier in the afternoon. That person was now in custody.
"No risk to any other persons exists and the local community can safely continue normal activities," he said.
Police were expected to provide more information tonight.
Earlier in the afternoon the armed offenders has blocked off a Coromandel street and were searching a house after an unspecified incident.
