       A number of police officers are searching a property in Auckland's
       Āwhitu Peninsula this morning.
        
       A police spokesperson confirmed officers were at an address in Pollok,
       on Awhitu Rd, in relation to a pre-planned search warrant.
        
       "There is no ongoing risk to the public in relation to this search
       warrant or these inquiries."
        
       "Police are unable to comment further while this is ongoing."
        
       It is unclear at this stage whether the warrant is related to an
       incident last month in which a man was shot after allegedly hitting a
       police officer with his vehicle in the same area.
        
       Officers were carrying out the "pre-planned" search warrant on June 13
       during an investigation into firearms offences.
        
       Police found three people at the address who were detained in relation
       to the warrant, while a fifth person escaped into nearby bush.
