Sergeant Barrowcliff said during the negotiations the man was in an agitated state but eventually came “face to face” with officers to speak with them directly.

“We always try to negotiate a peaceful solution,” sergeant Barrowcliffe said.

“He threatened police at some points.

“We’ve do have an onus to keep the community safe as well as the person in the house, that’s why we had a stronghold.”
