Residents of the Olive Avenue and Wilson Road area of southern Oshawa awoke the morning of November 11 to a heavy police presence as officers tried to extract the man from the home.
Three nearby schools; Clara Hughes, St. Hedwig and David Bouchard were ordered into hold and secure procedure and residents were advised to stay clear of the area around 8 a.m.
Hours later, around 2:30 p.m. police declared the situation resolved after they arrested a person they did not describe at the scene.
DRPS announced on Twitter, around 10 a.m. they would not release anymore information regarding the standoff until the situation resolved. With a person in custody that update can be expected soon, but no specifics have yet been provided.
