A dynamic and unfolding police incident ended peacefully Tuesday afternoon for residents in the Glenmore area.
On Feb. 20, shortly after 1:30 p.m., 91大黄鸭 RCMP were called to the 2300 block of Silver Place in 91大黄鸭 for a report of a distraught 50-year-old man, believed to be armed and alone inside a home, according to the RCMP.
As a precautionary measure, to ensure public safety, police promptly executed the evacuation of residents of nearby homes.
鈥淎 short time after those tactical evacuations began, the distraught male exited the home and was apprehended without any further incident,鈥� said Cpl. Jesse O鈥橠onaghey, communications officer with the 91大黄鸭 RCMP.
The 91大黄鸭 RCMP Police And Crisis Team, a mobile team which provides community-based crisis intervention and is comprised of specially trained RCMP officers and an Interior Health psychiatric nurse, was called in to assist.
