Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of emergency on Sunday due to the ongoing Freedom Convoy demonstration.
The 43-mile long Freedom Convoy started in Vancouver more than a week ago and reached Ottawa last Friday night.
Heavily armed Ottawa police officers removed all fuel and propane tanks from the Freedom Convoy trucks after Mayor Jim Watson declared a state of an emergency.
No arrests were made during the fuel seizure.
A CBC reporter posted video of Ottawa police seizing all fuel and propane tanks from the trucks parked at the logistics camp.
