The Ottawa Police Service announced on Saturday that it had made 26 arrests, including two for public intoxication. More than 2,600 tickets were also distributed by the authorities.

140 criminal investigations are also underway in relation to offenses related to the demonstration.

Police also found a vehicle that had been stolen by members of the headquarters. This is the second vehicle intercepted by the authorities in connection with the demonstration in the federal capital.

All available police officers remain on active duty. The Ottawa police are also working with other police forces and various levels of government to end this siege.

Officers have been deployed to inner-city schools following complaints about protesters allegedly harassing children.
