CHAPLEAU – Police on a First Nation in northern Ontario are urging residents to shelter in place as they search for an individual they believe to be armed and dangerous.
Nishnawbe Aski Police say officers responded to a disturbance late Saturday afternoon after getting reports of a violent incident in the community of Brunswick House First Nation.
Police say a male victim sustained injuries, but did not offer further details about his condition in a news release.
Police say they are searching for a young male suspect, although did not have a detailed description of the individual.
A significant police presence, including Ontario Provincial Police officers, will remain the area as the investigation continues.
Members of the community are urged to stay inside, close all curtains and to call 911 if they encounter the suspects, while motorists are asked to avoid all unnecessary stops when travelling through the area.
