One person has been arrested after an alleged firearm sighting in Tauranga.

A spokeswoman said police were called to Fraser St about 2.07pm after reports a person had a firearm.

One person has been taken into custody, she said.

A Bay of Plenty Times reporter at the scene said six police cars and a team of police, including armed officers, were speaking to a man at the bus stop on Fraser St near the intersection with 16th Ave.

More to come.
