EDMONTON – Police removed a man from an Edmonton Costco after saying he refused to wear a face mask.
It happened at the Costco on Winterburn Road on Tuesday around noon.
Another buyer captured the interaction on camera.
Police were called by staff who reported that the man would not comply with the shop’s policy of wearing a mask and would not leave the shop.
A spokesperson for the Edmonton Police Service said officers engaged in “respectful dialogue” with the man, but still refused to wear a mask or leave the shop.
The man then sat on the ground and refused to leave, police said.
The officers handcuffed the man, took him out of the shop and put him in a police van, the video shows.
He has since been charged with trespassing, EPS said.
EPS said it will apply COVID-19 public health measures mandated by the health director of health.
