Smithers RCMP executed a search warrant at a Hudson Bay Mobile Home Park residence on August 23rd.
Police said multiple guns and ammunition were seized with some community members concerned from the high police presence.
According to Mounties, one person was arrested cooperatively and taken into custody.
“Our leadership team has recently instructed Initial Critical Incident Response (ICIR) training, which means that instructor-level expertise is embedded right here in our detachment,” said Acting Corporal Melissa Murray.
Officers added the situation was managed as a non-active threat as no risk factors or active danger to the public were present.
Police are recommending careless use of a firearm, pointing a firearm, assault, and uttering threats charges in relation to the incident leading up to the search.
An investigation is still ongoing and anyone who may have witnessed the incident is asked to contact the Smithers detachment.
