Authorities in the Fraser Valley apprehended five individuals believed to have crossed the U.S.-Canada border unlawfully earlier this week. The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) reported that they responded to three separate border-related incidents on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
Over the course of these two nights, law enforcement successfully located and detained five individuals suspected of unauthorized entry into Canada. The reasons behind their actions remain unknown at this time.
A social media post disclosed that four of the suspects were handed over to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), while another was taken into custody due to an outstanding warrant.
Citizens are urged to report any suspicious border-related activities by contacting 911 or the AbbyPD’s non-emergency line at 604-859-5225.
