EDMONTON (CityNews) — RCMP say they have arrested one person in connection with the protest that took place outside GraceLife church on April 11.

Parkland RCMP say they located someone outside the church on Sunday morning who was allegedly involved in taking down the large metal fence surrounding the property last week.

According to a release, the officers arrested the individual for “mischief and obstruction.”

During a protest outside the church grounds last Sunday, a handful of demonstrators tore down the fencing that was installed by Alberta Health Services on April 7.

Shortly after that, some protesters helped police repair the fence.
