Police arrested a man on four outstanding warrants after an incident that disrupted traffic outside the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre during a Victoria Royals game Friday night.
The incident began around 8:30 p.m., when Victoria Police Department officers responded to a report that a recreational vehicle that had been reported stolen was parked near the intersection of Quadra and Pembroke streets.
Because of this concern, police established a perimeter around the vehicle, blocking off neighbouring streets from Caledonia to Empress avenues "out of an abundance of caution." The heavily armed Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team was called in to convince the man to surrender peacefully, which he did just after 10:45 p.m., according to police.
