Alberta RCMP say large tractor attempted to ram officer at Coutts border blockade | FULL

Alberta RCMP say they are searching for a suspect after an incident at the blockade Sunday night. At about 8 p.m., police said a large farm tractor and a semi-truck attempted to ram a police vehicle. The officer in the vehicle was able to reposition and avoid the collision.

Police followed the suspects to an area where protesters were gathered. The driver of the tractor was identified and police are working to locate him so he can be taken into custody.

The tractor and semi were both seized by the RCMP. The RCMP said this is an example of “the militant mindset” of a small group of the protesters.

RCMP also announced earlier on Monday that they had detained 11 people after an investigation at the Coutts border crossing led to the seizure of more than dozen long guns, hand guns, ammunition and body armour.

One more person was arrested on Monday bringing the total to 12.
