On Monday, April 3, 2023 at approximately 7:45 p.m., police were dispatched to a business in the 4500 block of Gordon Road for a report of a weapons offence. Early information provided to police suggested a male had stolen items from the business, and when he was approached by two security staff, the male pulled out a bladed weapon. Nobody was physically injured in the incident.
