ONE person is in custody after an unfolding incident led to a large police response in a North Vancouver neighborhood early Friday morning.

On November 10 at approximately 4 a.m., North Vancouver RCMP responded to a report of an assault with a weapon inside a residence located in the 100-block of Tekaya Place. The victim was safely removed from the residence and taken to the hospital.

The suspect remained inside a residence and refused to cooperate with police commands. Due to an increased risk to officers, the Integrated Emergency Response Team was called out to assist.

At approximately 11:15 a.m., one person was safely taken into custody, and police remained 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,” said Constable Mansoor Sahak.
