Police have reopened a main road in downtown Auckland after responding to reports of a person seen with a gun in the area.
Part of Hobson St was closed off just after 6am, when officers were seen descending on a section of the road outside Sky City.
"A member of
the public thought they saw someone with a firearm," a police spokeswoman said.
Newstalk ZB host Kate Hawkesby said the road was completely closed for some time, creating a large build up of traffic.
