Two more arrests are pending, said Manseau, noting a “special extraction team” is trying to remove two people who had locked themselves to the Hatton Forestry Service Road bridge. Once they are free, both will be arrested for civil contempt, he said.
The five people arrested Tuesday morning at the Caycuse roadblock are accused of defying the injunction. Later in the day, two others were arrested for obstruction for trying to pass through the access control point set up by RCMP at the McClure forest service road.
RCMP are restricting access to the Fairy Creek watershed to allow Teal-Jones Cedar Products to begin logging.
