A witness, who did not want to be named, said they saw a man dressed in “full SWAT” looking-clothing.
“He jumped out of the car, with what looked like a long-barrelled gun, on the corner of Willow and Monmouth.
“He walked away from the vehicle and the cops, up to the corner.
“AOS overpowered him … The whole road is shut outside the police station.”
Police told SunLive a man had been taken into custody following an incident in Tauranga this morning.
“There are no serious injuries, and we will provide further details when we are in a position to do so.”
