Police are investigating the deaths of two people at a house in Auckland this afternoon.

Two people were found dead by police on arrival at a Pukekohe property.

"Police are making a number of enquiries to establish exactly what has happened," a police spokesperson said.

"Those enquiries are in their very early stages."

A police scene guard is in place at the property tonight. A police spokesperson said it would remain there through the evening.

Neighbours did not want to comment when contacted by the Herald tonight.

A photographer at the scene said a family member of the deceased had arrived and was "distraught".

Police received reports of a sudden death at 3.10pm.

St John sent one ambulance and a rapid response unit to the scene.

No further comment from police was available at this time.

More to come.
