A convoy of several transport trucks from Ottawa that were believed to be heading to Windsor, Ont., was “successfully intercepted” by police, according to police and Windsor’s mayor.
Windsor police Chief Pam Mizuno told a news conference Wednesday that a convoy of six or seven trucks about 250 kilometres outside the southwestern Ontario city was spotted in the last 24 hours.
“It was learned that this convoy had travelled from Ottawa and it’s suspected that this convoy was heading to Windsor,” Mizuno said. “This convoy has since circled back, travelling eastbound on [Highway] 401.”
The convoy was spotted just days after the Ambassador Bridge reopened following last week’s blockade
