A police incident that closed a section of a street in downtown Nanaimo Thursday morning has been resolved, Mounties said.
The RCMP Emergency Response Team was on scene at a motel near the intersection of Terminal Avenue and Bryden Street "due to the potential for violence," the Nanaimo RCMP said in a statement.
“This was an extremely volatile and potentially dangerous situation that was resolved successfully by utilizing RCMP resources and officers who are trained to deal with these types of situations,” said Const. Gary O’Brien in the statement. The Emergency Response Team, a crisis negotiator and an RCMP Mental Health Liaison were sent to the scene.
