Officers have been focussing their efforts on the encampment for the last several days, according to police.

BC RCMP say a total of 198 individuals have been arrested since enforcement began. Ten of the individuals have been arrested previously.

Police say a full breakdown of how many were arrested for breaching the injunction and for obstruction is still pending.
