A part of Auckland's Queen St has been closed off
after a suspicious package was found.
A 100m stretch of road
from Mayoral Drive to Aotea Square was cordoned off.
Rapaera Tawhai is on standby
in our Auckland newsroom with the latest.
Police were called to Queen St at around 1pm this afternoon.
Witnesses say a black metal container of this size
was found in at a bus stop in front of Q Theatre.
There are fears it could be a bomb.
Police were concerned over the appearance of the package
and the Defence Force was called in
to investigate the package and scene.
The police has also announced delays to traffic in the area
are likely for the next two hours.
Now, Anzac, although we're nowhere near Boston,
it pays to be careful.
Thank you, Rapaera.
