Armed police respond to incident at Auckland's Sylvia Park.

Armed police have arrested two people in Sylvia Park Shopping Centre after a
fight broke out on Tuesday afternoon.

The pair are associates of the Rebels gang, police said.

No injures have been reported.

Police received reports that the men fighting were “carrying knives and other
objects”, acting inspector Matt Child said.

The incident took place near a Michael Hill jewellery store.

A Michael Hill spokesperson said standard security operating procedures were
triggered to protect customers and store employees, including a fog canon being
deployed.



But the people involved in the disturbance weren’t inside the Michael Hill store
at any point, the spokesperson said.

Armed police have arrested two people in Sylvia Park Shopping Centre after a
fight broke out.

One St John ambulance and three rapid response units also responded to the
fight, but were stood down by police.

A worker in the mall said she saw police officers armed with rifles running
through the building at about 1pm.

“It all happened so fast. We closed our doors, so we were all safe inside. We
never expected anything like this.

“There were police officers and security guards everywhere. A few people running
around,” she said.

Employees at a nearby clothing store, Max, said they saw a large police presence
around the nearby Michael Hill store.

Both men involved in the incident are in custody and will be facing charges
relating to fighting in a public place, police said.

A fog cannon seemed to have gone off, as the employee could see the smoke-like
substance.

The employee told Stuff she believed the incident was over and police were no
longer on the scene.

She also said incidents such as this happened around twice a month, but Max had
never been targeted.

Both men involved in the incident are in custody and will be facing charges
relating to fighting in a public place, police said.

Police are still investigating the incident.
