Several officers recently responded to a mental health crisis in Campbell River.
On Sunday afternoon at 6:00 p.m., Campbell River RCMP received a report of a 30-year-old man whose behaviour had turned dangerous and threatening in the 300 block of Crawford Road.
Front line officers and the Special Victims Unit, as well as police dog services from Courtenay responded and cordoned off a small area.
Police say the man was called out of his home and was taken into custody and then to the hospital without incident.
Constable Maury Tyre says they are thankful the situation ended peacefully.
“We are also very appreciative for the cooperation of everyone in the area during the heightened police presence”.
