Police have cordoned off a section of road near a college and intermediate school, in the Wellington suburb of Johnsonville.
A section of busy Burma Road was closed for some time on Friday night, with a wide cordon in place, and traffic approaching it being turned back.
Crime scene markers were visible within the cordon, and officers were seen examining a car near a pedestrian crossing between Onslow College and Raroa Intermediate Normal School.
A police officer at the scene said the cordon was related to traffic, and there was no risk to the public.
A post on a local Facebook group said people should avoid the stretch of road between Fraser Avenue and the Rāroa roundabout. It said Fraser Avenue was open, but with traffic blocked up due to the cordon.
