A woman has been arrested and charged after allegedly impersonating a police officer during Vancouver’s Remembrance Day ceremony.
Police say officers noticed the woman wearing “combat-style” camouflage clothing, body armour, tactical boots and a vest with military-style pouches.
They say the woman was also displaying a police-style badge on a chain and several police-related patches at the commemorative event at Victory Square.
Officers arrested the woman and found she was in possession of a replica gun.
Police say the 34-year-old woman has been charged with one count of possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
Const. Megan Lui notes the force had about 120 officers deployed for Remembrance Day ceremonies across Vancouver on Wednesday.
