Police found an injured woman who was subsequently transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
While at the scene, officers arrested two people leaving the home and were told that four other suspects were still in the residence.
Not long after crisis negotiators were called, three more were arrested without incident. A sixth suspect managed to elude police and leave the home unnoticed on Wednesday.
