With seven of eight Edmonton homeless encampments that police deemed to be "high-risk" already removed, police officers and city crews arrived at the last of those still standing.
Thousands of pounds of items and waste were hauled away from the high-risk encampment in the ravine at Dawson Park, below the east end of Jasper Avenue in Edmonton.
The police chief, as well as social agency officials, say those involved in organized crime are taking advantage of some of Edmonton's most vulnerable people.
