UPDATE: A 48 year-old Redcliffe man has been charged after the ten hour siege in the suburb north of Brisbane yesterday.

The man is alleged to have pointed a gun at police officers and made threats to detonate gas cylinders at the Klingner Road property.

The two hostages that were released by the man are aged 38 and 88.

He is expected to face Redcliffe Magistrates Court on Tuesday June 14 to face charges of serious assault of police while armed with a weapon, serious assault of police and bomb hoax.

4.30pm: Police say negotiations to end a siege at a Redcliffe home will go “for as long as it takes”.

Inspector John Hallam told media that specialist police had been brought in to deal with the siege, now in its sixth hour.

“We are still negotiating with the male person inside the house and we’re pleased to announce that as a result of those negations the second male [hostage] has now left the house,” he said.

Inspector Hallam said both hostages were uninjured and glad to be out of the house.

He said it was not clear if the man inside was still armed and no motive has been established.

Insp Hallam said SERT forces rammed the gate to the home down as part of a range of strategies to make sure the man keeps talking to police.

Klingner Road and the surrounding streets remain closed off to residents.

Jackson Sylvester, a 21-year-old who lives on an intersecting street said he had not been able to drive out of his home to go to work this morning, and has not been able to return to his home.

“I was leaving for work at 10am and police were on my driveway, they informed me that no one could leave the street because there was a man inside his house who had barricaded himself inside with his family,” said Mr Sylvester.

Police established an exclusion zone and negotiators are currently speaking with the male inside.

“We believe there is a second male person in the house,” Insp Hallam said.

“When police first arrived they identified there were three people in the home, an elderly gentleman has since been released.”

“The person who has been speaking with [police] thought it best to release the elderly gentlemen, which is what he has done”

The other adult male in the house is a relative.

“At the moment we have closed Klingner Rd between Scarborough Rd and Pinewood St and encourage anybody that’s travelling in the area to avoid it.”

“We do have diversions in place but if you could avoid coming to this location it would be much appreciated.”

“I haven’t evacuated anyone from their homes at this point in time they are safe, I have said to them if they wish to leave we can assist them to do so.”
