Ottawa police “secure” downtown with action against protesters “imminent”
The police have set up a secure area with approximately 100 checkpoints around downtown Ottawa, with only residents and workers allowed in the designated area.
Interim Police Chief, Steve Bell said Thursday action against protesters is “imminent,” adding, “If you want to leave under your own terms, now is the time to do it.”
Large numbers of officers from several agencies have been moving into the city’s downtown area in an attempt to end the demonstrations.
