An operation this morning in East Side has now been resolved.

Police were attempting to arrest a man for domestic violence offences and as a precaution a part of Bougainvilia Street was cordoned off.

“There was no immediate threat to the public during this incident, but the area was cordoned off during this time to allow police operations to be undertaken,” Superintendent Travis Wurst said.

“Around 8:30 this morning, the occupant surrendered to Police and a man has been taken into custody without further incident. I’d like to thank local residents for their cooperation during this operation.”

The man is now assisting police with inquiries.
