SMITHERS, B.C.—RCMP say four people have been arrested in northern British Columbia for breaching an injunction related to opposition against a natural gas pipeline in the territory of the Wet’suwet’en Nation. Police said officers also noticed support beams on a bridge appeared to have been cut, making the structure unsafe for traffic and pedestrians. Police said six people were arrested on Thursday and later released without charges or conditions. Hereditary Chief Na’Moks, who also goes by John Ridsdale, said one of the two people arrested Friday on the bus lives there and was arrested with another person. He said those arrested were on their own territory, not blocking any construction, which hasn’t progressed in the cold weather since December.
