Standoff ends after barricaded man surrenders in Kitchener
A police standoff in South Kitchener is over and one person is in custody after what neighbours described as a dramatic scene on Tuesday afternoon.
At around 1 p.m., Waterloo Regional Police asked the public to avoid Robert Ferrie Drive due to an incident involving a barricaded person.
There was a heavy police presence seen in the area near Caryndale Drive and Chapel Hill Drive, including heavily armed officers and the tactical and canine units.
Police said the barricaded man was uttering threats to harm responded officers.
Shortly after 5 p.m., a man was seen coming out of the home.
“Police managed to negotiate the male safely out of the residence and arrested and charged the male for uttering threats to cause death,” WRPS said in a news release.
Neighbours said they are happy the situation was resolved peacefully as the police presence had them concerned.
“I came into my driveway. I saw cops with guns. It was very scary,” said one resident.
There were no physical injuries reported.
A 35-year-old Kitchener man is held in custody for a bail hearing.
