Drive BC Camera footage shows protestors walking freely toward the Pacific Highway border crossing after breaking through an RCMP barricade at 8 Avenue and 176 Street Saturday afternoon (Feb. 12).
Hundreds of protesters gathered along 176 Street southbound at 8 Avenue just a short distance from the Pacific Highway border crossing to voice their discontent about COVID-19 rules and vaccine mandates.
Previously, protesters were blocked at 8 Avenue, leading up to the border crossing. But Drive BC camera footage from about 3:30 p.m. shows protesters walking toward the crossing along 176 Street, blocking vehicle access.
RCMP are on scene and working to disperse the crowd.
Surrey RCMP Cpl. Vanessa Munn said there is a “large police presence” and officers are continuing to monitor the situation.
