KEY POINTS:
Police are questioning a New Plymouth boy following an armed offenders callout in Christchurch sparked by a report a woman had been taken hostage by a gunman.
Inspector Alan Weston said it was thought the schoolboy made a phone call which led police to a Morley Street address about midday.
Police attended the scene and cordoned off the area until about 2pm.
"Police have not decided what action will be taken at this stage," Mr Weston said.
