Tickets worth $18,400 issued to representatives from three places of worship in Fraser Valley

The RCMP say they have served tickets totalling $18,400 to representatives from three places of worship in British Columbia's Fraser Valley for violating public health orders.

The Mounties say in a news release the churches were hosting in-person gatherings contrary to provincial orders intended to protect people from COVID-19.

On the Sunday mornings of Dec. 6 and Dec. 13, officers in Chilliwack responded to reports of people gathering at three separate churches contrary to the health orders.

Police say they charged representatives of the congregation on Thursday with eight counts of failure to comply with an order of a health officer, including the fines.
