A woman has been arrested after a body was found in Manukau.

Police said an "incident" took place at a property at Lakewood Court in Manukau, and officers were called to the address about 4:30 this morning.

Detective Inspector Shaun Vickers said a woman was found dead at the scene.

"Another woman was located at the address and taken into custody," Vickers said.

A scene examination was now being carried out at the property.

"There will be a police presence in the area today, including cordons around the Lakewood Court property," Vickers said.

"While we are in the early stages of our enquiries we want to reassure the community we do not believe there to be an ongoing risk to the public."
