Armed police called to Brockville

Police including the Armed Offenders Squad (AOS) flooded a street in the Dunedin suburb of Brockville this morning. 

Seven police vehicles could be seen in Turnbull St and motorists were being turned away from parts of it. 

A police van could be seen leaving about 10.10am and about 10 minutes later most of the police had gone. 

Some officers were seen inside a property on the street.

A police spokeswoman said the incident was a pre-planned warrant to locate a person of interest. 

However, the person was not at the property and inquiries were ongoing. 

Members of the AOS assisted as precaution, she said.
