COUTTS, Alta.— Mounties in Alberta say they swept in to make arrests and seize weapons and ammunition as an already tense blockade near the Coutts border crossing was about to escalate dangerously.
The RCMP said they had arrested more than a dozen people by Monday evening in and around Coutts who were associated with the protest, had access to a large collection of guns and were willing “to use force against the police if any attempts were made to disrupt the blockade.”
“We knew what was about to happen or inevitably to happen, and we acted as soon as we could,” Supt. Roberta McKale told media.
A number of investigations, including “conspiracy to attempt to commit murder” and those related to possession of weapons are taking place, she said.
The RCMP action appeared to have deflated the two-week blockade at the border crossing. By Monday night, most of the protesters had cleared out — leaving only a few dozen vehicles in the area.
Eight of the arrests took place at two residences in Coutts. Other arrests were at a vehicle in Coutts, at the blockade and on the highway.

Were these weapons discovered by the same group of mounties that illegally sabotaged private vehicles on private property?
“... was about to escalate dangerously”
Gee, wonder who is planning an escalation?
Pure propoganda.
False flag.
Yep.
If I was driving a truck across the country I would consider having some type of weapon with me. Heck, even driving 15 miles into the city, I give thought to what I can carry to defend myself if necessary.
Sgt Preston of the Yukon is no longer your friend.
Crap, You could find a lot of that stuff in my basement (If I had one)
Several of them look like ordinary deer rifles. Are those illegal in Canada?
That’s all?
I don't go out to the alley to dump the garbage without a weapon.
13 arrests? That’s it?
That’s not even a large collection of guns for one person. lol
I’m sure a pic like that will get all the blue-haired commie Karens quite verklempt though.
Yeah, if you and your basement knew how to drive the damn boat. I blame my boating accident on bad charts and rocks and Waves. I always liked Waves, blond Waves, brunette Waves, shoot Waves are good. 🙂
If they were so willing then why wasn’t a single shot fired? They are liars. The truckers/supporters weren’t planning on using them on police.
From what I am gathering the RCMP has as shady a rep as the Ef-Bee-Eye
Corrupt cops.
13 long guns, 2 pistols and a nasty looking machete! If I get 13 of my most radical friends together, we’re gonna have a lot more than that in the trunk!
What a steaming pile of moose scat, eh?
