Police find man hiding in attic

Chatham-Kent Police Service officials allege: Last night, police attended a residence in Chatham and learned that a man wanted for violent domestic related offences and breaching his Probation Order was inside.

Believing the man may be in possession of a weapon, members of the Critical Incident Response Team responded.

A search of the home resulted in officers hearing noises coming from the attic and observing insulation on the bedroom floor below the attic access door.

Officers secured the area surrounding the attic and after some time, the man came down and turned himself in.

The 40-year-old Chatham man was arrested on the outstanding warrants and has been held in custody pending a bail hearing.
