A Friday hostage situation at a Paris post office ended with the gunman in custody and no one injured, NBC News reported.

Police and a BRI tactical response team were sent to a post office in the suburb of Petit-Colombes after receiving reports of a lone gunman holding at least two people hostage at around 1 p.m. local time.

The siege ended less than two hours later when the gunman surrendered. Authorities said the suspect has a history of petty crime, CBS News reported. A motive is not yet clear. The suspect reportedly called police to say he was armed and had three hostages.

The Friday incident is the third hostage situation to strike the French capital in a week, with standoffs occurring simultaneously between police and Islamist radicals after carrying out terrorist attacks, including a massacre at the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo last Wednesday. A total of 17 people were killed in the violence.

Hours before the latest siege, Belgian authorities carried out raids resulting in the arrest of dozens of suspected jihadists accused of planning imminent attacks in the country. Many had recently returned from Syria. Police said they were able to stop a "Belgian Charlie Hebdo."

French authorities said the Friday hostage situation was not terrorism related, NBC News reported.
