A shelter-in-place advisory issued for a Bedford neighborhood Monday night was lifted after a man who led police on a chase and then barricaded himself inside a vehicle surrendered. The advisory had been issued for Oak Drive, Glen Road and Wendover Way. Out of an abundance of caution, residents of some neighboring streets were also asked to follow the advisory, Bedford police said.Officials said the chase began in Manchester about 5 p.m., continued on the Everett Turnpike and went through multiple towns. The chase eventually ended in the Bedford neighborhood, which is where the suspect lives, police said.Police said the man's vehicle got stuck in brush underneath high-tension power lines and he remained barricaded inside it. Authorities believe he was armed, which prompted the large police presence and shelter-in-place advisory. The man has not been identified but is expected to face charges. Police said they intended to issue an alert to people within a half-mile radius of the neighborhood, but it was sent to a much larger area. They're now investigating why the alert was so widespread.
