A man has been treated by St John Ambulance for non life-threatening injuries after police were called to an incident in Western Heights tonight.
Senior Sergeant Steven Shaw of the Bay of Plenty police district command centre said police were called earlier tonight to a Tania Cres property after several calls from members of the public about a disorder incident.
Mr Shaw said there were reports of people with weapons outside a property on Tania Cres, so police were armed as a precaution. The Armed Offenders Squad were not called.

"Non one was shot, and we are yet to confirm what type or if any weapons were involved."
Mr Shaw said those reports of weapons were yet to be confirmed, so too were the details of what happened.
No one has been arrested and police were still going through their information from witnesses.
He said police were also unable to determine as yet if the incident was gang related.
He invited anyone with information to call police on 0800 CRIMESTOPPERS.
