A 69-year-old man who had barricaded himself inside a house south of Owen Sound surrendered peacefully, Grey County OPP say.

Police were first called to a home on Gore Crescent in Chatsworth Township, north of Holland Centre, around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.

It took them several hours to make contact with the man inside, during which time they set up a containment zone around the residence.

A little before 8 p.m., police say, the man surrendered to police.

He was taken into custody under the Mental Health Act and transported to hospital for assessment.

No injuries were reported, police said.
