A rural Waikato resident has been taken to hospital after discovering a mysterious white powder in their garden.
The person rang emergency services just before 7.30pm to report the powder, bringing a specialist hazardous management fire team and ambulance descending on their home in Poland St in Waikino.
"We senta Hazmat team around to assess what it was, which they are still determining," a police spokeswoman said.
"But there is no concern for safety."
The concerned resident came into contact with the powder but were not injured by it.
