Ottawa Police Tow Trucks, Arrest Freedom Convoy Protesters

OTTAWA—Police moved in on protesters right here Friday, towing hefty-duty vans and making dozens of arrests as they began clearing a 22-working day demonstration versus Covid-19 vaccine mandates that has paralyzed the capital’s downtown and impressed blockades of crucial U.S.-Canada border crossings.

Interim Ottawa police chief Steve Bell mentioned Friday afternoon that officers ended up in command of the situation on the ground, and “will keep on to drive ahead to distinct our streets.”
