A man has been taken into custody after reports of a gunman shooting at a car in Thames this afternoon.
Armed police cordoned off an area of the town's southern suburbs after receiving a number of calls about a disorder incident about 2.40pm.
Among those reports were calls about a man allegedly armed with a handgun, shooting at a passing car.
The Waikato armed offenders squad as well as the Auckland-based police eagle helicopter were called to the scene.
Police said a man had since been taken into custody.
