The Woodstock Police Service is conducting a weapons investigation on Mill Street and two people have been taken into custody.
2ND UPDATE: Three people have been arrested after a police standoff in Woodstock that lasted nearly 12 hours.
Officers first responded to the area of Mill Street near Dundas last night around 11:30 after getting word of a robbery.
One of the accused was hiding in the back seat of a car waiting for their victim. When the owner of the car entered the vehicle they were assaulted and a weapon was produced. The two people are known to each other and police do not believe the attack was random.

All three have been charged with robbery with a firearm. They include a 24 year old woman, a 25 year old man both from Woodstock and a 25 year old man from London.
