Alberta RCMP say they are searching for a suspect after an incident at the blockade Sunday night. At about 8 p.m., police said a large farm tractor and a semi-truck attempted to ram a police vehicle. The officer in the vehicle was able to reposition and avoid the collision.
Police followed the suspects to an area where protesters were gathered. The driver of the tractor was identified and police are working to locate him so he can be taken into custody.
The tractor and semi were both seized by the RCMP. The RCMP said this is an example of “the militant mindset” of a small group of the protesters.
RCMP also announced earlier on Monday that they had detained 11 people after an investigation at the Coutts border crossing led to the seizure of more than dozen long guns, hand guns, ammunition and body armour.
One more person was arrested on Monday bringing the total to 12.

Yea you should think twice before you hug and kiss home made vigilantes
Pathetic propaganda. Go Truckers!
So, anyone want to point out the obvious. Why is there no footage from dashcams or body cams? Seems to me if the police actually followed procedure, they would have video footage instead of having to prove they are not lying
All credibility, trust and respect for the RCMP by the general public is completely gone.
Actually your name is not "Superintendent Roberta McHale", it is Roberta McHale and you are a Superintendent for the RCMP. I have never heard anyone with the first name of Superintendent.
A clear statement analysis of how the power and authority has become who you see yourself as and how you command acknowledgement and respect from your position of authority, which is concerning.
Where is the proof of this claim??? Mainstream media would've had something for footage. They got you believing this without anything cause it's probably the hired by Trudeau to go in & make it seem like (funny how I can't even say look like), she's pretty stammering in speech eh!!!???
I don't have to accept anything from a bunch of liars without any kind of proof. You have no right to even dictate that to us as a servant collecting our taxes.
Nobody believe this crap, RCMP destroyed this equipment, the equipment of their friends and neighbors. Wake up people and ostracize these jackboots from your community
Was it not the RCMP who struck a man from behind with a vehicle for walking down the ditch with an unconfirmed black object in his hand ? Funny how you never heard what actually happened to that man and what he was actually carrying….
The members are the enemy …….you've lost all respect from millions of canadians.
Too bad the tractor didn't succeed. The police are nothing more than government goons. Trudeau is to blame. 100%. Why not find another disabled lady to trample.
No video? Any proof? Or just hear say?
Im sure if they wanted to run them over they would have. But its funny your saying before having or showing proof
Bought and paid for by the spineless, unethical, lying PM.
More lies but thumbs up to the truckers go home copper You're a mean nasty cop that shouldn't be allowed to be a cop anyway you should be in jail
Cry baby
This is by far, the most inept spokesperson I've ever had the displeasure to listen to.
It's like the RCMP are using her as some kind of assault on the public's intelligence.
You guys act like you have never seen the RCMP act like this . .oh yeah….you don't live near a reserve
Liars. The protesters stated about a week prior that they suspected guns were going to be planted to make it look they were intending to cause violence. I heard it. Some of you must have heard it. Supt. Roberta Mckale, are you saying that the protesters were bringing them with intent to escalate violence with firearms? Then why warn about it. Is it possible that the Liberal party could have planted these as a way to justify the overreaching of the emergencies act?
And shame on this news channel for not giving the protesters a voice.
WHO tricker all these? Who and what cause truckers to come out? These are the questions!
Once the CAUSE is deal with, everything will be return back to normal ! The public's safety depends on when the government stop ripping people's freedom of choice.
Ask yourself, why the truckers do what they are doing? When something happens there's always a cause( causes), so deal with the cause
Do you know what FOS means ?
Hmm any chance of evidence, you know the dashcams?
She LIES! All of them cops LIE! I have a video of an ANGRY man dressed in camo with a machine gun LOADED with the safety OFF in a middle of a large crowd of people and CHILDREN!!
I told one of the officers to talk to this LUNATIC before he shoots someone! The RCMP combed the whole building includes ding the basement and came out EMPTY HANDED leaving through the BACK DOOR like a pack of thieves!
They all lie…
Protests are ILLEGAL? Really? Why, is this now a communist country.
She (the RCMP) is talking about "arrests". Why not arrest some of the Liberal government officials involved in the SNC, WE and other scandals. Ooops, I forgot, you are paid off by Trudeau.
