Loud bangs that sounded like gunshots and a chainsaw have been heard on a Christchurch street that’s been cordoned off by the Armed Offenders Squad.
Officers moved into Dunster Street in Burnside at about 5pm.

A group of neighbours have gathered at the end of the street and say they were shocked at what was playing out.
One woman said she heard chainsaws and what sounded like gunfire.
It’s believed to be linked to the fatal shooting of 16-year-old Connor Whitehead at a house party on Friday night.
It appears officers used a chainsaw to break into the house before a man in his 30s or 40s was escorted out by armed officers.
A large chunk of the side of the house had been cut away near the roof cavity.
