The North District Emergency Response Team assisted the Quesnel RCMP in making an arrest this (April 27) morning.
Police were called to the scene at 4:39 a.m. for a suspect in an uttering threats investigation.
Sergeant Clay Kronebusch says a 35-year old man had been located earlier in the morning and had fled from police.
“The suspect was located again in the Walmart parking lot. The suspect barricaded himself inside his vehicle armed with a knife.”
Kronebusch says the suspect attempted to flee in his vehicle.
“Police were able to disable the vehicle. The suspect attempted to flee on foot but was safely apprehended by the police.”
Kronebusch says the man is now in custody and will appear before the courts.
