Police presence lifted after early‑morning call in Kenora

A police warning in a Kenora neighbourhood early Monday led residents to stay inside, according to the Ontario Provincial Police.

Officers were called to the area of Government Road and McLean Avenue around 6:24 a.m. for what they described as an ongoing investigation.

Police advised people living nearby to remain indoors, lock their doors and avoid the area until further notice.

In an update posted at 7:23 a.m., the OPP said the increased police presence had ended, and regular patrols had resumed.

The service said one person was taken into custody and that officers were not looking for any other suspects.

Police said no further information will be released at this time because the investigation is still underway.
