A man has been charged after barricading himself in a central Auckland property on Friday.
The incident sparked a large police callout in Mt Albert.
The 28-year-old's arrest came after police approached a suspicious vehicle in Whitaker Place in central Auckland to speak with the driver about 2.30pm yesterday.
Before officers could speak with the driver, he allegedly fled.
This vehicle was not pursued by police. After inquiries, the driver was later located at a Mt Albert address.
