A New Zealand Defence Force bomb squad destroyed a suspicious object at a Huntly roundabout tonight.

Waikato Police closed down the main road into Huntly after a member of the public called to report the object, which is sitting on the centre island.

Cordons that were in place at Tainui Bridge Rd, Tumate Mahuta Drive and George Drive have now been lifted.
