Seven people have been arrested after a standoff in Saskatoon on Wednesday.

- A 20-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man were both arrested on outstanding warrants.
- A 33-year-old man was arrested for two breaches of recognizance and numerous outstanding warrants.
The seven were scheduled to appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court Thursday afternoon.
