ORIGINAL

Around 5:30 a.m. this morning, officers responded to reports of a robbery with a firearm at a gas station on MR 80. The individuals involved fled on foot prior to police arrival.

Our K9 Unit supported by patrol operations conducted a track in the area that led officers to a residence on MR80.

The individuals believed to be involved in the robbery are believed to be inside the residence.

Officers set up containment of the residence and residents near the home have been asked to shelter in place.

The Emergency Response Unit (ERU) and K9 Unit are on scene and continue to communicate with those inside for a peaceful resolution.

Community members are asked to avoid the area while officers are on scene. MR 80 is closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic from Isabelle Street and Division Street.

Please do not live stream video or post photos of our officers while the incident in ongoing. This places not only our officers but the community at risk.

An update will provided when more information is available.
