(Bloomberg) -- New Zealand police have found a package containing a suspected explosive device and ammunition at a vacant address in Christchurch, according to a statement issued Tuesday.
A bomb disposal team has secured the package and declared it safe. A 33-year-old man has been arrested and is assisting with inquiries, police said.
