Several nearby residents said they heard a loud bang, followed by police shouting.

More than half a dozen police vehicles as well as police dogs were present at the home, and a small number of neighbourhood residents had gathered to watch the spectacle.

Police used a drone to try and get an overhead vantage point.

Traffic was diverted as a large police presence of Kelowna RCMP and Emergency Response Team personnel could be spotted outside the home.

A local RCMP officer has told Global News that CFSEU — the province’s anti-gang agency — was present at the home. One male and one female have been arrested and taken into custody, in relation to an ongoing drug investigation.

Global News will provide an update when more information becomes available.
