Emergency situation resolved peacefully
The emergency situation in Southport has been resolved peacefully after a man was taken into custody a short time ago.
Just before 11am, a man who had been barricaded inside a unit complex on White Street surrendered himself to police without incident.
Earlier, police made a declaration under the Public Safety Preservation Act after officers were called to an address in Anne Street after a man fired a shot into a vehicle.
The man then retreated to a unit inside a complex on White Street where he fired another shot.
Police would like to thank Southport residents for their understanding and cooperation whilst the operation was underway – particularly those whose Christmas plans were disrupted.
Investigations are continuing.
