Neighbors in the area said they saw the police presence shortly after midnight on Wednesday. “I saw five or six cops, plus the dog, all running over there, and that was at the beginning of the night, 12 something, one o’clock. It lasted all night from the looks of it,” David Pereria said. . “I woke up at three in the morning to go to work for four and all I saw was a bunch of police cars,” said Craig Taylor. Several hours later, around 9 a.m., the OPP’s Twitter post said the immediate area had been contained and evacuated. Police said there was no threat to the general public and nearby Alcona Glen Elementary School was not affected. About an hour later, around 10 a.m., the OPP observed that a man surrendered and was in police custody. Police have since cleared the scene and reopened the area.
