    Two schools, an early childhood centre, and a medical centre are in lockdown in the Bay of Plenty town of Katikati as armed police hunt for a person of interest


    In a social media post, Katikati College says it's following police directions and is telling people to not come into school.

    Katikati Primary School and Robin's Nest early childcare centre have both released similar messaging.

    Images show armed police have blocked off Beach Road at the Polley Cresent and Park Road intersections.
