One person is in custody after an unfolding police incident in North Vancouver led to a large police response in a local neighborhood earlier this morning.
On Tuesday, December 19, 2023, at approximately 5 am, North Vancouver RCMP responded to a report of an assault inside a residence located in the 1000th block of Lytton Street.
The home owners were safely removed and a search for the suspect ensued. Due to the mental state of the suspect and the potential for violence, the Integrated Emergency Response Team and Crisis Negotiators were called out to assist. At approximately 9 am, one person was safely taken into custody as the police remains in the area to complete their investigation.
“We are not seeking any additional suspects and want to reassure residents that there is no risk to the public,” states Constable Mansoor Sahak, Media Relations Officer for the North Vancouver RCMP.
