A group of people may be planning to return to Yellowknife without authorization, according to the , who said Wednesday that they are on alert for such an incident.

SA国际影视传媒淭he information received is that a group of people are planning to re-enter in the territory in as many as 50 vehicles from Alberta and that SA国际影视传媒渢hey will not stop for the checkpoints,SA国际影视传媒� the Mounties wrote in a news release.

The are strongly discouraging any such action. Police have authority under the Emergency Management Act to enforce the checkpoints.

SA国际影视传媒淭he evacuation orders and territory-wide state of emergency remain in effect. It is not safe to return to any of the communities under evacuation order,SA国际影视传媒� states Cpl. Matt Halstead, who handles media relations for the NWT.

SA国际影视传媒淭rying to return now puts you at risk. There have been extended highway closures due to active wildfire activity, poor visibility and there is a lack of emergency services to respond to a collision or medical emergency while people are in transit. Importantly, if you are not approved for re-entry, you will be turned away. Anyone who engages in activity that risks the safety of Department of Infrastructure staff or officers at the checkpoints, may face prosecution,SA国际影视传媒� Halstead added.

The communities under evacuation are not prepared for a mass return and the limited resources that exist are supporting firefighting efforts and essential personnel, according to the police.

The Northwest Territories with the support of the Alberta are continuing to investigate this matter.

SA国际影视传媒淲e understand that people want to come homeSA国际影视传媒� Halstead stated, SA国际影视传媒渂ut this type of activity has the potential to drain resources and delay the receipt of essential supplies for firefighting efforts. Trying to return to any of these communities en masse would be irresponsible and threatens to exacerbate already difficult conditions.SA国际影视传媒�
