North Bay police have closed Airport Road because of what they are calling an "active investigation."

OPP are also on-scene in the 700-block of Airport Road says the news release sent to the media at 5:30 p.m.

"There will be an increased police presence in the area for the time being," says a police release." Airport Road will be closed to traffic during the investigation. Members of the public are asked to avoid the area. Those travelling along Airport Road are asked to use Golf Club Road as a detour."

Police say there is no threat to public safety but is asking the public to not post live videos of the scene while officers are there.

"Posting live photos and videos of our officers can significantly increase the risk faced by them during evolving incidents and can compromise the integrity of ongoing investigations."

The release offers no further information, but in the past, police have asked the public not to show videos since it gives clues to people inside the building where officers are located.

As a result BayToday will not be posting photos until police resolve the situation.
