Heavy police presence in South Cariboo gives ‘all clear’

A heavy police presence was called in for assistance on an incident in the South Cariboo. Police say the situation is all clear.

100 Mile RCMP say they were called to attend an incident in the 4800 block of Telqua Drive in 108 Mile Ranch, on Nov. 9. They responded to a report involving what police called a “distraught man”.

Police said in a statement that, out of an abundance of caution and because of concerns for officer safety, the North District Emergency Response Team out of Prince George was called in to assist with the situation.

The police vehicles, while en route, drew attention from members of the public in Quesnel and Williams Lake across the communities’ social media pages.

Police say the man was taken into custody without incident, without any injuries. He has been transported to hospital to receive any medical care needed.

No further details on this matter will be reported.
