CBC
The Yukon RCMP is responding to an "ongoing incident" Air North's complex in Whitehorse.
Police offered few details in a news release issued just before 2 p.m. Thursday, only stating officers were on-scene "in the area of Condor Road" and asking "everyone to stay away from the area."
A police spokesperson would not comment on the nature of the incident, or where exactly it had happened, but said officers had the situation "contained."
A CBC reporter on-scene saw an RCMP SUV parked outside a hangar at the Air North complex at 150 Condor Rd., just off the Alaska Highway.
In an email, the airline's marketing and communications spokesperson Amy Ryder confirmed there was an "incident near Air North's facility" but said no employees were harmed, reiterating that the RCMP had the situation "contained."
Police say the nearby Whitehorse airport remains open.
