The RCMP is urging people to avoid an area northwest of Victoria as police respond to a potential weapons call.
In a Thursday media release, the Westshore RCMP said officers were called to a disturbance at home in the 800 block of Finlayson Arm Road in the District of Highlands.
“Police determined an unknown individual may be armed with a firearm inside the residence and have contained the area,” RCMP said.
“There is a heavy police presence in the area.”
Police closed a section of Finlayson Arm Road in the area, and asked nearby residents to stay in their homes.
