Armed police have surrounded a house in the West Auckland suburb of Glendene and are calling for the occupants to "come out".
Police say they have since cleared the house on Glendene Ave following a report of a robbery about 8:10pm.
They initially believed the occupants had a firearm, and the street was cordoned off.
A witness on the scene said the house was surrounded by about 15 armed officers who had set up a perimeter around the property.
