A standoff between Vernon RCMP and a man barricaded inside a house in Coldstream ended peacefully on Monday afternoon.
Just before midnight last night, police were called to the home on Torrent Drive after reports of a man, who police say was armed and very distraught.
To be safe, police evacuated the area, and asked anyone nearby to stay inside and avoid the area, which had been taped off with temporary road closures on Torrent Drive, Kidston Road, and Cottonwood Lane.
As a precaution, some residents in the area were evacuated from their homes, but are able to return now that the standoff is over.
RCMP will be removing their resources from the area and opening up the surrounding roads again, although some officers will temporarily remain at the scene for processing.
