VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - A barricade situation that began late Sunday night just off Shore Drive near N. Great Neck Road has ended.

Officials tell News 3 they were called to the 2300 block of West Great Neck Road for a disturbance just before midnight.

For about 12 hours, authorities worked to safely take a man into custody who had barricaded himself inside a vehicle and threatened to harm himself.

Crews used at least two robotic devices and an intercom to communicate with the man inside his vehicle.

SWAT crews and investigators closed off portions of West Great Neck and Shore Drive as they tried to safely resolve the situation without the man harming himself.

The situation ended just before noon.
