The cordons on and around Leicester Ave, Tamatea have been stood down and the roads have re-opened, following an earlier Police operation.
Police staff cordoned off the area as a precaution while enquiries were made to locate people of interest.
Those people were not located, and Police will continue to make further enquiries in regards to their whereabouts.
A number of staff will continue to work in the area as enquiries continue, and some are armed as a precaution.
There is not believed to be any threat to public safety at this time.
We wish to thank the members of the public for their patience and understanding while Police carried out these enquiries.
