Edmonton police say it was one of the most elaborate encampments officers have ever seen.

It was built up in a thick grove of trees, in the middle of an industrial area with few amenities nearby.

Police said they located 15 weapons, including three guns, a crossbow, knives, swords and a machete.

The encampment caused significant environmental damage to the trees and root systems of the forest it was built in.

“People moving from one park to another or from one back alley to another street two blocks away is not solving homelessness,” Gurnett said. The encampment has since been dismantled. Those living in it were offered access to services and supports, which police said they refused. EPS said 20 violation tickets were written, and 10 warrants were executed..
