Police in Canada’s capital have warned that “Freedom Convoy” protesters may be “arrested without a warrant” if they continue their efforts – as politicians plead for an end to the ongoing demonstrations against COVID-19 restrictions. Ottawa police issued a statement Wednesday indicating that the protesters who have paralyzed the capital city since late last month could face mass arrests as the blockades there and at two major ports of entry continue. “The unlawful act of blocking streets in the downtown core is resulting in people being denied the lawful use, enjoyment and operation of their property,” police said. “You must immediately cease further unlawful activity or you may face charges.” “You could be arrested without a warrant for this offense if you are a party to the offense or assisting others in the direct or indirect commission in this offense,” police continued. The protesters’ vehicles may also be seized if they’re arrested and potentially forfeited upon conviction of mischief of property, police said.
