A temporary road closure in Fort Erie has been identified as a weapons closure.
Yesterday around 10:00am, police responded to Crescent Road near Hollywood Street for reports of a man with a weapon in a yard.
Officers shut down Crescent Road between Hollywood Street and Phillips Street as a precaution, but later determined the man was in possession of a pellet gun and no criminal action had occurred.
The road reopened after about an hour, with police confirming there was no risk to public safety.
