Officers have closed Clarence Street between King and York streets as members of the traffic management unit continue to investigate. Folks are asked to avoid the area in the meantime.

“We never know the exact time that roads will be closed, it all depends on the investigation itself,” Bough said.

Bough added that it’s too early to say whether criminal charges are pending, but noted that an investigation is ongoing.
