NRP on Scene of Stand off

They were called to a Port Colborne neighbourhood this morning

There's a heavy police presence in a Port Colborne neighbourhood this morning.

They got a call about a possible weapons incident, east of the Welland Canal and south of Durham Street.

Police have two houses under watch, one on Fares Street, north of Louis Street, and the other on Mitchell between Nickel Street and Decew.

Police are asking everyone in the area to stay indoors, keep doors locked, until the suspect has been caught.

Out of an abundance of caution, police have asked schools to go into a "Hold and Secure", which includes Dewitt Carter Public, Lakeshore Catholic High, Ecole St. Joseph, and St. Therese Catholic Elementary School.
