One person is arrested following a reported firearms incident at a Western Heights property earlier today.
The incident sparked nearby Western Heights Primary School to go into lockdown.
A police spokeswoman confirmed reports of an altercation in the area that happened at 10.37am. They were working to establish what had happened.
A Rotorua Daily Post reporter at the scene said cordons guarded by armed police on Roger St and Joanne Cres off Edmund Rd had now been removed.
