Festival attendees are now able to re-enter the Waitangi Park area of the Homegrown festival after an earlier evacuation.
Following concerns held by Homegrown security about a person, a decision was made to evacuate the Waitangi Park area of the festival at around 9:20pm.
Police can now clarify the decision to evacuate was made by Police rather than Homegrown staff.
A person has been spoken to and the area searched, and as a result Police can confirm there has been no threat to the Homegrown festival or the public.
