Victoria Police have taken one woman into custody during a dramatic arrest on Tuesday morning.

At around 4:30 a.m. on December 17th, police attended reports of a break-in in the 1500-block of Amelia Street near Pandora Avenue.

When officers arrived, they found that someone had barricaded themselves inside the attic of the building that was otherwise unoccupied.
