Officers were in the area of Sergeant Lane in River John Wednesday afternoon searching for a 35-year-old man who may be armed.

As of 9:10 p.m., officers remained in the area investigating firearms and stolen vehicle complaints made earlier Wednesday. According to a tweet from RCMP, the stolen car has been found.

“There’s no immediate threat to public safety at this time, and residents are no longer being asked to shelter in place,” an RCMP tweet reads.
