PETERBOROUGH-Peterborough Police blocked off Water Street at London Street and evacuated the area on Monday night just after 9pm. Officers including the Emergency Response Team were called to a rooming house on Water Street for a weapons call and stood with guns drawn for hours in what appeared to be a stand-off. An ambulance was also on the scene.
As a result of the investigation no weapon was located. Â
 Two males were arrested and charged. One male is wanted on a warrant held by Calgary Police for fraud charges according to police. The other male, a resident at the multi-unit building, was also charged. Melvin Jacobs, 55, of Water Street, is charged with possession of marijuana under 30 grams.
We will bring you more as it becomes available.
