People who allegedly turned up with a firearm at a West Auckland property were followed across much of the city this morning before a car was spiked.
Police were alerted shortly just before 4am about a firearms incident in Sunnyvale.

A police spokeswoman said a car was seen leaving the property near Glen Eden.
"The Eagle helicopter followed the car around central Auckland and the North Shore before returning to West Auckland," she added.
