Police officers descended on anti-government protesters in Ottawa on Friday, arresting at least 100 people and towing vehicles in a push to end a three-week occupation that has seen the city's downtown grind to a halt.
Interim Police Chief Steve Bell says they have a well-articulated plan and will keep at it until the streets are given back to the people who live and work there.
The police action, which includes the R-C-M-P, Ontario Provincial Police, local officers and units from other cities, followed an initial round of arrests on Thursday against key organizers.
