Mounties surrounded the 3800 block of Gordon Avenue in Kelowna to deal with what they’ve described only as a “barricaded person.”
Police confirmed just before 9 p.m. Monday that one person was taken into custody at approximately 5:30 p.m.
Officers say the arrest was linked to the events that took place near the intersection of Gordon Drive and Cook Road earlier in the afternoon.
“A smaller security perimeter will be maintained in the area by police but vehicles and pedestrians are now allowed in the neighbourhood,” said Cpl. Judith Bertrand, Media Relation Officer.
Why the person is barricaded at the Bridgewater Estates condo and the nature of the threat posed has not been shared.
