After hours of negotiation, a person in crisis surrendered to Timmins Police yesterday.
In the late afternoon of Oct. 3, police responded to a person in crisis call at a Timcor Crescent residence.
The lone male occupant of the residence was in severe distress, say police.
"Acting with public safety in mind, the immediate area was cordoned off and the scene was contained by members of the Timmins Police Service," said police in a news release.
