At around 11:15 a.m., Sault Ste. Marie Police Service(SSMPS) blocked off St. Georges Avenue between North Street and Walnut Street as a ballistic armoured tactical transport (BATT) vehicle parked in the driveway of a house located in the 100 block of St. George's Avenue.

Several armed officers of the police Emergency Services Unit exited the vehicle before entering the home as one officer held a gun on the home from a position out of the top hatch of the BATT.

Other police officers surrounded the house from the alleyway behind the house.

Constable Sonny Spina said the officers involved were executing a search warrant.

Several vehicles that appeared to be unmarked police vehicles were on scene and multiple people were observed to be taken into custody.
