Toy gun, baby prompt police response Police are recommending criminal charges after a three-hour standoff near Bear Creek Park last Wednesday night. At about 9:15 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a 911 call regarding a domestic disturbance in the 13300-block of 87B Avenue. Police went to the basement suite that was the focus of the complaint. A man came to the door with a baby in one hand and what appeared to be a gun in the other. The 22-year-old Surrey man – identified as the boyfriend of the woman in the suite – refused to let police in or to let the woman and baby go. RCMP called in the Emergency Response Team with a negotiator, who spent the next three hours
talking the man out of the suite. The weapon he was carrying was an Airsoft gun. The woman and 11-month-old girl were physically unharmed. RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said the evening was a tense situation that worked out for the best. “A toy gun has a time and a place, when being used as a toy,” Paquet said. “If it’s observed (outside of that), we will always assume it’s the real McCoy.” The man, who is known to police, was taken into custody. Police say they are recommending charges of obstructing a peace officer and possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes. -Kevin Diakiw
