Armed police swarmed an Auckland street where a car crashed into a house last night after officers were earlier told someone had a gun.
However, police said this morning they had not been able to find evidence of a firearm.
The crash happened on Luanda Drive, Rānui, at about 9.19pm and led armed police to rush to close off the street, while the Eagle helicopter monitored the scene from above.
The driver of the vehicle and an occupant were taken to hospital afterwards.
“Crews treated two patients in moderate condition, with both being transported to the hospital,” St John said.
