Heavily armed police have surrounded a motel in Laverton, Melbourne.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman told Fairfax Media that the police officers were negotiating with suspects.
She added that Special Operations Group officers were assisting in an attempt to take people in to custody inside the building.
A number of people are inside the Westside Hotel Motel even as police conduct negotiations with suspects.
This motel is located on the corner of Leakes and Fitzgerald roads in Laverton in Melbourne's south west.
More details awaited.
UPDATE @2.15pm: Man arrested after Melbourne motel siege
A man has been arrested after heavily-armed police surrounded a motel in Melbourne's west with their guns drawn.
The 28-year-old's arrest came after the Special Operations Group on Thursday surrounded a room on the upper level of the Westside Hotel in Laverton.
"The man will be interviewed about a number of matters," a police spokeswoman told AAP.
Police have not released details on the suspects or the wider investigation.
The Westside - known locally as the Tarmac - has been robbed multiple times, including an incident in 2012 when notorious criminal Christopher "Badness" Binse used a shotgun to steal $235,000 from Armaguard staff.
