A swarm of armed police descended on a Napier suburb to make an arrest.

Police attended a Tamatea property on Friday afternoon after reports a person of interest was at the address.

A 49-year-old man was taken into custody without incident.

He is expected to appear in the Hastings District Court tomorrow on a number of outstanding charges.

Police would like to thank the public for their patience while the operation was carried out.
