Victoria Police have arrested a man they allege threatened to shoot another person.

Police say officers responded to a report of a man threatening to shoot someone in the 11-hundred block on Pandora Avenue on June 9th.

Police say the suspect left the area in a vehicle by the time officers arrived, but they were able to locate him near the intersection of Tyee Road and Wilson Street a short while later.

The Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team made the arrest, and the suspect is being held by Victoria Police for court.
