Mounties in 100 Mile House are watching a church that's alleged to have held Sunday morning services in violation of rules on public gatherings.

RCMP say they were called to the 100 Mile House Baptist Church after receiving a complaint and watched people leaving the building with no visible face coverings.

In a recording of the service posted online, the pastor thanks people for coming and asks them to open their Bibles to a specific passage.

Police say they took down licence plate numbers and owner registration information and while no fines were handed out, they say potential action could be taken through a court summons.
