Pair arrested after reports of firearm

Armed police have arrested two people after closing off streets in the Hamilton suburb of Frankton after reports a firearm was presented. A witness, who was part of a group of adults playing football at nearby Railway Park, said he’d never seen so many firearms and estimated he saw about 40 police during the incident. A police helicopter was also seen flying over the Kotuku St area yesterday afternoon. Hamilton police said the incident was over and an 18-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman had been arrested. No charges have been laid at this stage and police said the parties involved were known to each other.
