Immingham Street reopened following end of armed stand-off.
Police told Viking FM after nearly five hours of the police negotiating with a man with a firearm to come out of a property on Ancholme Avenue, Immingham, the incident has thankfully come to a close.
At 7.45pm this evening (5th September 2016) a 37-year-old man was successfully negotiated out of a property on Ancholme Avenue and a number of firearms have been recovered and made safe.
The man is currently on his way to a police custody suite, arrested in connection with criminal damage, threats to life and section 16 of the firearms act.
We are pleased to say no-one was hurt during the stand-off and residents can return to their properties.
A great team effort by all officers involved in this high risk and pressured incident. Some of the officers to be praised include; negotiators, firearms, joint specialist operations unit, community officers and our police dogs.
Thank you to the residents nearby for your patience during this incident.
