White Rock Mounties says a potentially dangerous situation is under control.
The RCMP say they were tipped off about a man in the area who might have some extremely dangerous chemicals.
Emergency response, the integrated forensic unit, and a squad specializing in explosives, chemical, biological, and nuclear materials all responded.
They seized chemicals at a home in the 15-hundred block of Prospect Avenue in White Rock.
34 year old Hamish Sutherland is in custody facing at least one charge but more could be coming.
Police are now testing the chemicals.
