Campbell River RCMP responded in numbers to a significant mental health crisis in the 300 block of Crawford Road early Sunday night.

Police were initially advised of a 30 year old male whose behaviour had turned dangerous and threatening at approximately 6pm.

Officers, along with those in the Special Victims Unit, and Police Dog Services from Courtenay arrived and closed off a small area.
