Siege Ends Peacefully At Mount Hutton

BY IAN CROUCH

A siege at Mount Hutton has ended peacefully with a man surrendering to police.

Police say the 31-year-old called officers to his home in Warners Bay Road at about 11.00am on Monday.

They arrived to find him on the roof and refusing to come down.

Officers negotiated with him for more than three hours before he surrendered without incident.

He was taken to the Psychiatric Care Unit at the Calvary Mater Hospital for treatment.
