Passersby received a shock after seeing a pair of youths brandishing what looked like a gun on a Dunedin rooftop today.

Dunedin police were called to an address in Princes St at 1.40pm after reports of two people standing on a rooftop with an object that looked like a firearm.

When police arrived, two youths were located with a toy gun on the roof, a police spokeswoman said

Both the youths are now off the roof and are being spoken to by police.
