Police cordons in Napier have now been stood down after an "incident" in Maraenui.
It comes after police earlier told residents to stay in their homes as the Armed Offenders Squad (AOS) and Police Negotiation team (PNT) were in attendance at Gilray Avenue.
"There are cordons in place and residents are asked to stay in their homes as a precaution," the statement said earlier on Tuesday.
In an update on Tuesday afternoon, police said nothing of interest was located at the address. They were called at 2.10pm.
"Inquiries are ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident," police said.
