RCMP in North Vancouver say a standoff with a distraught man that prompted a massive police presence was concluded peacefully on Friday.
RCMP were called to the 200 block of East 18th Street in Central Lonsdale around 8:15 a.m., to reports of a “man acting erratically and brandishing a weapon” outside a home.
When officers arrived, the man barricaded himself inside the home and refused to cooperate, RCMP said in a media release.
