A dispute in Napier caused an Armed Offenders Squad callout when a man allegedly presented a firearm at a person.

Police were called to a Coverdale St address in Onekawa around 7.30pm on Tuesday.

A police spokesperson said the people involved in the dispute were known to each other.

A 38-year-old male was taken into custody without issue and is set to appear in Napier District Court on Wednesday, charged with unlawfully possessing a firearm and presenting a firearm at a person.

The Armed Offenders Squad attended the scene with police as a precaution.
