RCMP say three people are in custody after a police operation in the Utopia area of Charlotte County.

Mounties first alerted the public about the operation in a social media post shortly after 10 a.m. Friday.

They were asking people to avoid Route 785 between Loon Lane and William Wakefield Lane.

“At this time, this incident does not meet the criteria for an Alert Ready message,” police said in the post.

Just before 11 a.m., RCMP said the police operation had concluded and residents could resume their normal activities.

“We will share more information when we are able to,” said the updated post.
