Original story:
The North Bay Police are involved in an ongoing investigation near Lakshore Drive, Lee Avenue, and MacDonald Avenue East in the West Ferris area of North Bay.
"Members of the public are asked to avoid the area if possible," a social media post stated.
No more details are available but witnesses say a large police presence is located in the Pizza Hut parking lot on Lakeshore Drive.
The OPP tactical squad unit is also present.
Witnesses told BayToday that there has been at least one arrest and it appeared to them to be a drug-related bust.
"It was definitely a chaotic situation, I've never seen anything like this before on a main street in North Bay,' said Nick Gadomski, a witness from a nearby business who has lived in North Bay for 10 years.
"A customer pointed out to us that there were OPP vehicles, like about three of them and we went outside because we heard some yelling and then we noticed Lakeshore Drive was blocked off both ways. We heard a big smash and we saw that the passenger window of a truck was smashed and the police had the dogs there as well," he continued.
"It was pretty intimidating, there must have been at least 10 enforcement vehicles and there were definitely some tense moments and everything sounded aggressive."
