If people have noticed a lot of police activity in their neighbourhoods Wednesday, there’s no cause for alarm.

Winnipeg police say they’re “conducting operations” across the city. And while there is no risk to the public, Const. Rob Carver asked Winnipeggers to give their teams some space.

Several sources notified Global News of large police presences at 78 and 105 Talbot Ave. Wednesday morning.
