The man was wanted on "serious firearm offences" and was located by police after a tip-off from the public in relation to a stolen ute.

Police Inspector Scott Russell said police became aware of the stolen ute parked in the yard of an Orton Place property at 2am.

"One of the occupants was wanted on serious firearm warrants and we believed the stolen vehicle also contained a firearm," he said.

"We set up a perimeter and specialist police were called in and negotiations began with the occupants.

"Six occupants were in the house at the time and all occupants apart from the male freely left that premises.

"Approximately 12 hours after that a 19-year-old man was arrested and he is now in custody for serious firearm offences and will be bail refused to appear at Albury Local Court tomorrow.

"The investigation into the stolen utility is ongoing."

Inspector Russell said the man had hidden in the roof of the property during the stand-off.

"It is a difficult process, the ultimate goal in these situations is to resolve it peacefully so we were there as long as it takes," he said.

"He came down after some time to present himself to police at the back of the house."

No one was injured during the incident.

A large contingent of local police, specialist tactical police and negotiators surrounded the house and cordoned off Orton Place and adjoining Resolution Street until just after 2pm.

"The resources were there to make the community safe and to ensure the police safety," Inspector Russell said.

"The man was wanted over possession of firearms, unsafe firearms and not have license - those are very serious offences and he will be charged with that warrant."

Inspector Russell said another man was arrested at the scene for unrelated matters and no one was injured during the incident.
