The Kelowna RCMP seized a mock firearm and arrested several people after shutting down Pandosy Street for a few hours on Oct. 25 to respond to a high-risk incident.

Police swarmed the 1900-block of Pandosy Street at around 5 p.m. on Monday after they received a report of a man wielding a weapon. Mounties said they determined the suspect was in a residence in the area.

Officers cordoned off the area and requested assistance from the Southeast District Emergency Response Team, a regional RCMP squad of heavily armed officers.

The street was reopened late on Monday night, at approximately 8:30 p.m., with one man being taken into police custody. Subsequently, police arrested four more people.

Investigators also seized a crossbow and an imitation firearm.
