The Mounties say they responded to a report shortly after 9 a.m. of a person alleged to have a weapon at a residence.

They asked members of the public to avoid the area of Kings Road between Shell and Seacote roads, while offering reassurance that there was no active threat.

The Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team assisted with the response and police say two people were located inside a suite in the residence.
