MONTREAL Police moved in Monday afternoon to dismantle a homeless encampment in Montreal s east-end Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough The move comes after dozens of protesters gathered to support the residents of the tent city . Monday morning, the gates around the site were locked and Quebec s Transport Ministry stated police would be asked to intervene if the campers did not leave. At about 4 p.m., police made an approach. Those still on site, protesters mostly and not residents of the encampment, left the scene and no arrests were made, said Montreal police spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant. “No arrests, which is a good thing,” said Brabant, adding there were no tents, no nothing, no one in the park.
