Several members of the public were alarmed after they spotted a large police presence outside Peace Centre on Jul. 13.

Large police presence

Multiple officers from the police, special operations command tactical unit and counter assault unit, as well as an anti-riot vehicle and several tactical and police vehicles were seen at the scene.

These vehicles were spotted surrounding the front and back of Peace Centre, which is located at 1 Sophia Road.

Those in the vicinity at that time speculated online about what they think happened, and some said the officers remained at the site around noon time.

These accounts were reported by 8World News, which wrote that the police were apparently activated in response to an incident in the vicinity of Peace Centre.
