Police have entered a Whangarei home following a family violence incident but the victim and her partner were not there and officers are now searching for the couple.
Nearby Horahora Primary School is no longer in lock-down and cordons have been lifted around the Mahana Place, Raumanga Valley house.
Cordons were in place in Raumanga after Whangarei Police and the Armed Offenders Squad were called to a scene.
One cordon was on the intersection of Otaika Rd and Raumanga Valley Rd and another near Exeter St.
Due to concerns for the female victim and a possibility of firearms at the address, several police staff were sent to the scene, including armed officers.
