A woman has been arrested during a shopping centre siege south of Wollongong.
NSW police are questioning the 27-year-old woman who was arrested on Monday morning outside the Warrawong Westfield, where officers are believed to be hunting two armed men.
"She is currently with police ... assisting them with their inquiries,'' a spokeswoman said.
Two gunmen are reported to be locked inside the cinema complex at the shopping centre, which is closed to staff and public.
A Nine Network reporter at Warrawong Westfield said the siege began after a security guard spotted two men and a woman in the complex about 6am (AEDT).
