Police have apprehended a person who tried to get onto rapper Drake's property in Toronto, authorities said Wednesday.

Authorities were called to the property after a person tried to gain access, police said.

A source familiar with Drake’s property told NBC News: "The man didn’t break in. He was immediately confronted at the gate by security and turned over to the police."

Police said that the incident was not a criminal matter and that no details about the person would be released, citing the Mental Health Act.

The Mental Health Act in Ontario is a law that sets parameters for how to help people having mental health crises. It also “provides a means for people to receive an emergency assessment without their consent through support of a Physician, or a Justice of the Peace,” police said.

Police would not confirm the exact location of the attempted break-in, but they did confirm it took place at the same location as a shooting Tuesday, which occurred at Drake’s property.

Police also said "this has nothing to do with the investigation from" Tuesday.

On Tuesday, a security guard was seriously injured in a shooting outside Drake's Toronto mansion just after 2 a.m.

Police said they believe the guard "was shot from a vehicle which then fled the scene." The guard was standing outside a gate when he was shot and injured.

The guard was in serious condition at a hospital, inspector Paul Krawczyk said Tuesday.

Drake — who has made headlines in recent days while he has been involved in a rap beef with Kendrick Lamar — was not injured in the shooting, a representative said at the time.

His representatives declined to comment on the shooting incident, citing an active police investigation 

It is not clear whether Drake was home at the time of the shooting Tuesday or during the incident Wednesday.
