An RCMP operation that attracted considerable public attention in Riverdale last Friday ended safely, police said Monday afternoon.

At approximately  10 a.m. Friday, Yukon RCMP executed a search warrant on a residence in the  100  block of Lewes Boulevard.

“The operation safely concluded at approximately  11:30  a.m.,” police said.

The Whitehorse RCMP General Investigation Section (GIS) and the Yukon RCMP’s Critical Incident Program (CIP) teams participated, including the Yukon Police Dog Section.

There were no injuries.

“Police remained on scene for most of the day completing the search of a residence,” the RCMP said.

The search warrant execution was connected to an on-going investigation related to online meeting safety.

As the Star reported Jan. 13, police are investigating multiple files involving victims targeted from such online dating profiles as Tinder or other similar online platforms like Instagram and Fadcebook.

“This is a continuing Criminal Code investigation, and there is a need to preserve the integrity of that investigation,” police said Monday.

“RCMP performed standard continuing risk assessments that showed no risk to the public or schools in the area.

“Schools and daycares were contacted to give notice of the planned police activity in the area.

“RCMP would like to thank the public for their co-operation during this incident.”

Investigators believe there may be more victims in Whitehorse who may be fearful to report similar online incidents, and are encouraging these individuals to contact them.
