A weapons call likely related to a replica firearm led to the deployment of a police Emergency Response Team in Surrey, B.C., Thursday morning.
Surrey RCMP said officers were called to a home on 104 Avenue near 129 Street just after 8 a.m. to reports of two men with a gun.
Mounties surrounded the house with the support of the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team, resulting in a nearly four-hour incident.
Police said there were about 14 people inside the home with “varying levels of cooperativeness,” and that “multiple people” were taken into custody.
A search of the home eventually revealed no real firearms in the home, but police did find a replica firearm which they believe was the basis for the initial call.
Nobody was injured, and police subsequently released everyone from custody.
