Police are urging the public to stay away from The Zone shopping centre in Auckland’s Pukekohe.
It comes after police received a report of an “unidentified item” at the mall on Manukau Rd, a spokesperson said in a statement on Sunday morning.
Cordons are in place, they added.
“Anyone in the area will be directed away by staff at the scene until we can establish the item is safe,” said police.
More to come.
