CTV
Windsor Police say their officers and 'policing partners' have started to move in on the convoy protesters blocking the Ambassador Bridge.
"The Windsor Police & its policing partners have commenced enforcement at and near the Ambassador Bridge. We urge all demonstrators to act lawfully & peacefully. Commuters are still being asked to avoid the areas affected by the demonstrations at this time," Windsor Police tweeted on Saturday morning.
The protesters have been calling for an end to all COVID-19 restrictions and have blocked vehicles from entering the bridge for the past six days.
Since Friday night, the roads leading up to the bridge in Windsor, Ont ., have seen a heavy police presence consisting of officers from Windsor Police, the RCMP, Ontario Provincial Police and police from agencies in other communities.
A line of police officers has been slowly pushing the remaining protesters back, away from the bridge, since early Saturday morning. Large, armoured police vehicles could also be seen behind the officers.
