File # 23-26798

One person is in custody after an unfolding incident led to a large police response in a North Vancouver neighborhood earlier this morning.

On Tuesday, December 19th 2023, at approximately 5:00 a.m., North Vancouver RCMP responded to a report of an assault inside a residence located in the 1000th block of Lytton St, North Vancouver. The occupants of the residence were safely removed and a search for the suspect ensued. Due to the mental state of the suspect and potential for violence, the Integrated Emergency Response Team and Crisis Negotiators were called out to assist.

At approximately 9:00 a.m., one person was safely taken into custody and police remain in the area to complete their investigation.

"We are not seeking any additional suspects and want to reassure residents that there is no risk to the public," states Constable Mansoor Sahak, Media Relations Officer for the North Vancouver RCMP.

We would like to thank the public for their patience.
