KEY POINTS:
Three men armed with shotguns forced their way into a house Riverhead, north of Auckland, this morning, robbing its three occupants at gunpoint.
Detective Sergeant Phil Cox said the men entered the house demanding cash about 1am.
He said they stole a number of items including cell phones, computer games, digital cameras, jewellery and a small amount of cash before leaving.
The occupants of the house then alerted police and the Armed Offenders Squad was called out to the property.
Police were interviewing three men found in Ranui, West Auckland, following the incident.
"Although no arrests have yet been made police have not ruled out the possibility of serious firearms and other charges being laid.
"Ongoing enquiries via a search warrant are currently in progress," Detective Sergeant Cox said.
