Durham police arrest armed and barricaded suspect in Whitby
Police have arrested a man in Whitby after he allegedly armed himself with a knife and barricaded himself inside a home over the weekend.
Durham police say that on July 20 at around 7:30 p.m. officers arrived on scene to find a man holed up inside a residence in the vicinity of Chestnut and Perry streets.
The suspect had been previously released on condition that he stay away from the homeowner and residence, police say.

Vehicle thefts have risen in Windsor, according to the Windsor police. CTV Windsor's Stefanie Masotti has tips on staying vigilant. Vehicle thefts have risen in Windsor, according to the Windsor police. CTV Windsor's Stefanie Masotti has tips on staying vigilant. With rising vehicle thefts in Windsor, police are sounding the alarm. 'It's happening all across Windsor. Not in one area in particular,' said Const. Andie Suthers. From July 22 to July 28, police responded to 11 vehicle thefts, which is a 57 per cent increase compared to the same week last year. Police are asking the public to be vigilant, since six of the vehicles were left unlocked with the keys still inside. 'This remains one of the most common ways that vehicles are being stolen,' said Suthers. Nine of the 11 thefts have been recovered so far, but police urge people to leave their cars locked, never leave the vehicle running or leave the keys in the vehicle. - With files from CTV's Stefanie Masotti
