Delta police have one man in custody following an overnight incident at a home in Ladner.

DPD attended a home along 60th Ave. in Ladner shortly before midnight on Feb. 17.

DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf said in a news release that a man was confirmed to be in a residence contrary to court ordered conditions. A woman was also present in the residence.

“Because the man refused to exit the residence and comply with his conditions, police moved to contain the residence and tried to work with the man to gain his cooperation,” said Leykauf. “As the incident progressed the Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team, negotiators, and the integrated Police Dog Service were called in for assistance.”

Leykauf said officers obtained a warrant and negotiators continued working to convince the man to surrender.

“Fortunately negotiators were successful and the man surrendered to police before 7 a.m., Feb. 18,” said Leykauf. “We’re very pleased that there were no injuries sustained by any person during this event.”

She said contrary to reports on social media, there were no gunshots fired during this incident. The suspect is currently in police custody.
