A tent has been put up outside the property on the corner Southbrook Rd and South Belt, spotlights have been set up and the property has been taped off.
Armed police stood outside the property this morning.
The operation came at the same time yesterday as one in Good St, Rangiora, where police raided a property not far from where the body of Richard Leman was found in a garage in Tyler St, inside his white Nissan Fuga.

The fire, which gutted the Southbrook property, was treated as suspicious at the time.
Work had started on the high-profile site in recent times, with workmen seen stripping the roof and securing the property.
