A 27-year old man is in RCMP custody following a 12-hour standoff in Iqaluit's Creekside Village neighbourhood.

It's not clear yet whether the man will face charges. There were no injuries reported.

It was the community's second standoff in the span of a week. Police have not said whether a firearm was in the Creekside Village unit.

Police blocked off part of sector, commonly known as White Row, after receiving reports of a man barricaded inside an unit. Iqaluit municipal enforcement set up roadblocks at the intersection across from the Arctic Ventures Marketplace, and down the street from the Anglican Parish Hall.​ Police were seen outside Creekside Village with their weapons drawn.

The apartment complex was also being used to house displaced Arctic College students after a fire in the Ikkuvik residence last week.

This is the second standoff in Iqaluit in a week. The first one, in the city's Happy Valley neighbourhood, ended without injury on Thursday after 42 hours. Several area residents were unable to get home during that incident, others had to stay in their homes for two days and the city set up an emergency shelter at the Arctic Winter Games arena.
