A group of people appear to all be safely out of the water after getting into trouble at Mosquito Beach at Auckland's South Head.
But information on their conditions is yet to be revealed. Two rescue helicopters appeared to have been dispatched to the scene, a police spokeswoman said.
Police were alerted shortly before 2pm "that a group of people had got into difficulty in the water at Mosquito Beach".
Police have not yet arrived on the scene, but it's reported the group are now all out of the water.
It's understood they may have become caught in a rip.
