A Negotiator Called in on the Police Stand-Off

Report that a man had pointed a handgun at another man on Cassells Street

On April 10th, 2024, at around 3:20 pm, officers from the North Bay Police Service Patrol section were called to the 1100 block of Cassells Street, North Bay, in relation to a report that a man had pointed a handgun at another man, while demanding information from him. 

Good work by the officers of the North Bay Police Service prevented further actions and possible injuries to the general public.

When the victim fled the scene to call police, the accused entered a nearby apartment building.  Officers surrounded the building and the Emergency Response Team was called out.  Residents of the building were evacuated safely, and police were able to determine the identity of the accused. 

A negotiator began to speak to accused, and at approximately 5:30pm, the accused exited the residence and surrendered himself to police.  No injuries were sustained during the incident. 

A handgun was recovered at the scene, and it was determined that it was a pellet gun.  The Criminal Investigations Section of the North Bay Police Service is continuing to investigate the incident.

The accused is currently in custody awaiting a bail hearing.

A North Bay man was arrested by police after pointing a handgun at another male, while demanding information.

The accused in this incident is:

Donald BELLAIRE, male, age 39, of North Bay, who is charged with:

·        One count of Robbery

·        One count of Pointing a Firearm

·        One count of Possession of a Weapon for a Dangerous Purpose

The public is reminded that if an imitation firearm is used in an offence, police will treat it as though it was a real firearm, and in court, the consequences can be same.
