Officers blocked off Denman between Nelson and Pendrell streets, with officers stationed at intersections preventing drivers from turning onto the major road through the West End.
One officer at the scene around 10:30 p.m. said the incident began as a traffic stop, but then something happened. He did not give details but said residents in the area don’t need to worry about their safety.
“Two people have been arrested in a stolen car in the West End,” Sgt. Steve Addison, VPD media relations officer, told Daily Hive by email. He added that more information would be available in the morning.
