Police have confirmed a suspicious-looking bag found in Auckland's CBD was not a bomb threat.

Police were around 1:15pm after the bag was found on Customs St West.

The surrounding area was cordoned off and the Defence Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit called to inspect the bag.

The EOD unit have since confirmed the bag was "not suspicious" and cordons have been lifted, a police spokesperson told Newshub.
