A 37-year-old man was arrested Wednesday after he reportedly barricaded himself inside a condominium complex in Campbell River and threatened to kill police.
Mounties and the Vancouver Island Emergency Response Team were called to the building in the 2000-block of the Island Highway after multiple calls to police reported the man was causing a disturbance throughout the day.
Attempts to de-escalate the situation were unsuccessful, the RCMP said, prompting officers to obtain a court authorization to enter the residence.
