The RCMP Emergency Response Team was called to a Fraser Heights home early Sunday morning and took one man into custody.
At about 5:45 a.m. on Feb. 6, Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a robbery with a weapon in the 16200-block of Glenwood Crescent.
Police learned that the suspect was inside a residence and he refused to come out, despite repeated attempts by the RCMP.
Based on a risk assessment, Surrey RCMP said, the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team was called to the scene.
“Two occupants exited the residence shortly after the arrival of ERT,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Vanessa Munn said in an email. “At approximately 9:30 a.m., ERT made entry into the residence and took the suspect into custody. The suspect was brought before a judicial justice and remanded into custody.”
Surrey RCMP’s General Investigations Unit has taken over conduct of the investigation.
A witness on scene told Peace Arch News that ERT officers used several flash bangs and tear gas to remove the suspect.
