A standoff with Gatineau Police ended Saturday when two people were taken into police custody after barricading themselves in a home.
Police had closed several streets in the area around Boulevard de l'Europe and Rue de Londres while they surrounded the home.
They arrived on scene just after 4 a.m. and placed the two people under arrest at 6:10 p.m., for a total of about 14 hours.
Some nearby homes in the Plateau district of Aylmer were evacuated, but merely as a precaution.
There were no injuries during the arrest, and police are not identifying the two people.
