Man in custody after ‘serious incident’ shuts down streets
A man has been taken into police custody following a "serious incident" in Beaudesert this morning.
Police have now revoked an emergency declaration made under the Public Safety Preservation Act (PSPA) and confirmed a man had been taken into custody "without incident".
Officers were called to a residence on Birnam St about 4.05am on Saturday, with specialist police and negotiators then speaking with a 51-year-old man.
Paramedic and critical care crews are also on hand.
The incident led to four Beaudesert streets, Birnam St, James St, Gordon St and Beauview Cres, being blocked off.
