GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Officers responded to an armed robbery suspect who barricaded themself inside a northwest Grand Rapids home Tuesday night.

The incident occurred in the 700 block of Fifth Street at around 8 p.m., according to the Grand Rapids Police Department (GRPD).

We're told the victim of the armed robbery, a pedestrian, was able to tell police which home the suspect entered. Several people were inside the home at the time.

A special response team was summoned to surround the building after calls for everyone inside the home to exit went unanswered. Police say all occupants eventually left the home.

A search warrant at the home is expected at a later time.
