One person has been taken into custody after a person allegedly threatened another person with a firearm in Rotorua.
The incident resulted in cordons being set up and a school going into lockdown as a precaution. The Armed Offenders Squad responded.
Police were called to a Homedale St address in Pukehangi around 2.42pm.
A spokeswoman at Aorangi School said the school was in lockdown and staff were "running around" making sure everyone was aware, as it was "close to pick-up time".
A woman who was at the corner of Homedale St and Edmund Rd said there was a cordon in place blocking access to Homedale.
