CHILLIWACK – A heavy police presence has flooded the area of Mellard Avenue and Fletcher Street, located northeast of downtown Chilliwack, on Sunday morning.

According to multiple witness accounts, at least 10 police units, several ambulances and fire trucks surrounded the area of Mellard/Fletcher.

Police have set up yellow caution tape across one of the roads involved, according to an on-scene picture sent to Fraser Valley Today.
