Armed incident in Levin puts school in lockdown

Police say the firearms incident in Levin on Thursday afternoon has been resolved, and contrary to rumours no-one was taken hostage during the event.

The Armed Offenders Squad were at the scene, and the nearby Taitoko School was put in lockdown.

Police set up a cordon around Liverpool St and Balmoral St and asked the public to stay away.

The cordon has now been lifted, and police are talking to a number of people as they investigate.
