Auckland International Airport security breach causing delays

A security breach at Auckland International Airport is causing delays this morning following a separate incident which caused the arrivals hall to be evacuated.

An Auckland Airport spokeswoman said there had been an incident at outbound security, but it had been resolved.

Auckland Airport said in a tweet there were delays of about half an hour.

Last night Auckland International Airport was evacuated after a passenger in the arrivals hall declared two WWII artillery shells in their luggage.

Passengers were held in customs for up to two hours.
