A young offender is in custody and facing numerous charges following a barricading incident on Beverley Street in Wahnapitae on April 10.
Greater Sudbury Police said officers were dispatched to the home at the corner of Beverley and Glenbower Crescent at around 11:45 a.m. Officers were looking for a person believed to be connected to a robbery that occurred at a business on Lasalle Boulevard in New Sudbury on April 5.

At 1:40 p.m., GSPS said tactical officers made entry into the residence and took the person — a young offender who cannot be named — into custody shortly after, at 2:20 p.m.,
The youth is charged with:
