One man is in custody after a heavy police presence shut down several roads in Winnipeg’s Exchange District early Wednesday evening.
Police say the man is a suspect in an ongoing firearms-related investigation and was located in the 200-block of a business on McDermot Avenue.
In a tweet sent around 5:30 p.m., police asked the public to stay away from the area of King Street and McDermot, calling it a “dynamic situation”. No injuries have been reported.
The police ARV (armoured rescue vehicle) was also on scene.
