Police have swarmed Auckland's St Lukes Mall following reports of a burglary.

They received multiple reports just after 5pm on Tuesday of an incident.

A spokesperson said it's understood a group of offenders entered a store within the complex, smashed cabinets, and then took some items before fleeing the scene.

A vehicle believed to have been involved was found a short distance away.
