Police were called to the scene around 2 p.m. on June 22 with a report that the suspect may be armed. Officers responded immediately and quickly located a man matching the description provided by the caller. A high-risk arrest was carried out without incident, and no injuries were reported.

Police are asking anyone with additional information to come forward and contact the local detachment.
The Vanderhoof RCMP say quick response and community assistance played a key role in safely resolving the situation.
