A 38-year-old man is in custody and assisting Police with enquiries following a 19-hour armed negotiation at an address in Eastern Beach.
Police officers arrived just before 1pm on Monday afternoon to speak with the man following a domestic incident that occurred at the address in the weekend.
As an approach was made to the house, the man refused to engage with Police.
Due to the fact that he was in possession of a firearm, the area around the Esplanade, Eastern Beach was safely cordoned and contained to ensure the safety of members of the public.
The Armed Offenders Squad and Police Negotiation Team were deployed to the area.
