A man has been arrested following a family violence incident in the Waikato which saw dozens of police and the Armed Offenders Squad called out.
Armed police swarmed the property on Rawhiti Rd in Te Aroha, north of Matamata, after emergency services were called just before 7.30pm.
A police spokeswoman said nobody was believed to have been hurt in the incident, but one of those involved was known to own a firearm and the Armed Offenders Squad had been called out as a precaution.
Locals posted on social media to say more than 10 police cars had sped past on the way to the job, and the police helicopter and dog squads were in the area.
Cordons had been put in place near the property on Rawhiti Rd, north of Te Aroha, but some of the cordons have now been stood down, the police spokeswoman said.
