RCMP say a man has been arrested without incident after a “critical incident” said to involve a gun on Tuesday morning.
In an initial news release, police had said officers were responding to a report of an “incident involving a firearm” in the Dehcho community.
An hour later, shortly after 10am, police said an arrest had been made.
No further information was provided, but RCMP said residents were no longer being asked to avoid the Mountain View Trail and Valley Main area of the hamlet.
Earlier, a resident described to Cabin Radio the arrival of multiple trucks carrying officers in tactical gear. RCMP said a specialized team’s arrival had led to a “heavy police presence.”
