Multiple streets were blocked off in downtown St. Catharines, including the bus terminal.

Niagara This Week Reporter Melinda Cheevers confirms there was a report of an armed individual in the Leonard Suites.

She says they closed the streets and the bus terminal because they were within sight line of the apartment.

Cheevers says the man has been apprehended by police.

He was a wanted man on unrelated charges.

Much of downtown was closed, including the bus terminal, for about two hours.

Locals say there was a heavy police presence downtown at that time.
