Police are speaking with two people following a callout to a rural property near Warkworth.
Officers were called to Goatley Road around 11:30am to reports a firearm was discharged.
There were road closures on State Highway 1 earlier this afternoon as a result of the incident, but the roads are now open.
The Armed Offenders Squad and police dog units attended the property as a precaution.
There were no reports of any injuries.
Two people were taken into custody without incident around 2pm.
