“RCMP revealed Thursday that officers have seized a ‘substantial amount’ of firearms from homes in evacuated High River. ‘We just want to make sure that all of those things are in a spot that we control, simply because of what they are,’ said Sgt. Brian Topham. ‘People have a significant amount of money invested in firearms … so we put them in a place that we control and that they’re safe.’ About 30 RCMP officers set up a blockade, preventing 50 residents from walking into the town. Dozens more police cars, lights on, could be seen lining streets in the town on standby. Officers laid down a spike belt to stop anyone from attempting to drive past the blockade.”
