Mounties are investigating an incident where a man was arrested on Ahbau Street.
Police say they were called to a residence on the 600 block, just after 5:30pm yesterday (Thursday) for a well being call, but on arrival, they found a person had barricaded themselves in a room.
They add it was believed threats were made involving a firearm, and the individual refused to exit the home, prompting officers to set up containment.
The Police Dog Service and the North District Emergency Response Team responded to the scene, where the man exited the home shortly after, and was taken into custody without incident.
“The investigation is still in its earliest stages, but there is currently no indication there is any risk to the general public resulting from this incident.” said Constable Jenna Moore.
“Due to the nature of the incident and the known history of those residing at that location, police officers contained the residence and remain on scene until they obtain a search warrant for the home.”
No further details are available at this time.
