A shelter-in-place order in Caledon has been lifted, but provincial police say the investigation continues.
Ontario Provincial Police blocked off a large area on Highway 9 between The Gore Road, Patterson Side Road, Finnerty Street and Humber Station Road on Saturday morning in response to an incident involving “some potentially armed people.”
Members of the public were advised to “take action to protect their safety while police work to apprehend the individuals.”
Just before 11:30 a.m., police said the order had been lifted and that all roads in the area had reopened but that a heavy police presence would remain and that the investigation remains ongoing.
“There is no threat to public safety,” investigators said in a release without providing any further details.
