Two suspects arrested after six-hour standoff 

The Windsor Police Service arrested two suspects following a six-hour standoff at a residence in South Walkerville.

Shortly before 11:30 a.m. on September 30, 2025, officers responded to a report of breach of probation at a home in the 2300 block of Lincoln Road. Officers learned that a suspect, identified as Mark Bain, 51, had violated the conditions of his release order by communicating with a victim he was prohibited from contacting.

Upon seeing officers arrive at the residence, Bain barricaded himself inside a shed and refused to surrender. During the response, officers also learned that a second individual, Eric Bain, 56, was inside the main residence. He was wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant for two counts of mischief over $5,000 and six counts of mischief under $5,000. He also barricaded himself inside and refused to come out.

Attempts to negotiate with the suspects into peaceful surrender were unsuccessful.  At approximately 5:30 p.m., the Emergency Services Unit executed a Feeney warrant, which granted officers authority to enter the residence and shed. Both suspects were arrested without further incident. 

Mark Bain has been charged with failure to comply with a probation order. He was previously convicted in October 2023 of several offences, including possession of a prohibited weapon, operation of a motor vehicle while impaired, dangerous operation, and uttering threats to cause death (x 3). His release order included a condition prohibiting contact with the victim involved in this case.
