A woman surrendered herself to police after a standoff  on Friday afternoon.

Police officers in tactical gear were spotted near No. 2 and Blundell roads on Friday around 3 p.m.

Frontline officers were in the area to investigate a threat complaint and found the suspect had outstanding warrants, Richmond RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Dennis Hwang told the Richmond News.

The woman had barricaded herself in the residence along with her two children and a dog, which was classified as dangerous under Richmond's animal control regulations.

An RCMP negotiator and the LMD Integrated Emergency Response team also attended the scene and the area was cordoned off.

"The suspect was uncooperative but eventually surrendered to police and was taken into custody," said Hwang, who added no one was injured.
