Police investigation leads to closure of part of Whyte Avenue
A section of Whyte Avenue in Edmonton has been taped off by police as they conduct an investigation into a reported incident.
According to authorities, the area between 104 Street and 105 Street has been closed off to the public since early this morning. The reason for the closure has not been disclosed, but police have confirmed that it is related to an ongoing investigation.
Witnesses in the area reported seeing a heavy police presence, including multiple police vehicles and officers on foot. Some also reported seeing a forensics team on the scene.
At this time, it is unclear what exactly the police are investigating and if any suspects have been identified. However, residents and business owners in the area have been advised to avoid the taped-off section of Whyte Avenue until further notice.
The closure has caused some disruption to traffic and public transportation in the area, with buses being rerouted and drivers being asked to find alternate routes.
Police have not provided an estimated time for when the investigation will be completed and the area will be reopened to the public. However, they have assured that they are working diligently to resolve the situation as quickly and safely as possible.
This is a developing story and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available. In the meantime, we urge the public to stay away from the taped-off area and to cooperate with any instructions given by the authorities.
We remind everyone to remain calm and patient as the police carry out their investigation. The safety and security of the public is their top priority and we trust that they will handle the situation with the utmost professionalism and care.
