Police were alerted at around 11.30am and while carrying out initial investigations at the scene they located a suspicious item near the man's body.

"The area was immediately cordoned off, including the closure of SH1 between Princes Street and Highbrook Drive," a spokesperson said. The Police Specialist Search Group and the NZDF EOD Team were sent to the area. After a thorough search two objects were found, both of which were safely removed from the scene. "Initial enquiries indicate that these items are not IEDs, and further specialist enquiries will need to be carried out into these two objects." The motorway has since reopened. The spokesperson said police would provide further details in due course. St John were at the scene with two rapid response vehicles in a standby capacity.
