Comox Valley RCMP said an incident near Coleman Road and Hardy Road in Courtenay on Friday ended peacefully, with one person taken into custody.

Police had asked the public to avoid unnecessary travel in the area and follow officers’ directions while they responded.

“There was no threat directed toward the general public at any time and we thank everyone for their patience and cooperation,” Comox Valley RCMP said.

Police have not released further details. More information is expected as it becomes available.
