A lockdown at a Housing New Zealand and Public Trust building in Auckland has been lifted after a threat was allegedly made towards a worker.
On Tuesday morning, Public Trust's communication consultant Ian Letham confirmed to Newshub that its Greenlane building had been placed into lockdown.
Letham said a threat had been made towards a member of staff, but wouldn't elaborate further.
The lockdown had been a "precautionary" and "voluntary" measure without the assistance of police, but was lifted more than an hour later.
Security staff remain on-site.
The building is also shared by Housing New Zealand. A spokesperson earlier confirmed its staff had also gone into lockdown, following normal procedures and staying indoors.
Police said they had no information available about the lockdown.
