Global News spoke to two residents who said they were approached by two officers asking if they had heard any parties in the area on Sunday. They said the officers assured them they are safe but didn’t elaborate any further.

The residents told Global News the white tent has been in the area since Tuesday and that officers have been on the scene since Monday evening.
