DELTA Police attended a residence on the 5800-block of 60th Avenue in Ladner shortly before midnight on February 17 after it was confirmed that a man was there contrary to court ordered conditions. A woman was also present in the residence.
Because the man refused to exit the residence and comply with his conditions, police moved to contain the residence and tried to work with the man to gain his cooperation.
The Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team, negotiators and the Integrated Police Dog Service were called in for assistance.
Delta Police obtained a warrant and negotiators continued working to convince the man to surrender.
“Fortunately, negotiators were successful and the man surrendered to police before 7 a.m., February 18,” said Cris Leykauf, spokesperson for Delta Police. “We’re very pleased that there no injuries sustained by any person during this event.”
Contrary to reports on social media, there were no gunshots fired during this incident. The suspect is currently in police custody.
