SURREY, B.C. – One person has been taken into custody after a police incident at the Pacific Highway border crossing in Surrey, B.C.

Surrey RCMP say they received reports from the Canada Border Services Agency around 2:40 p.m. Tuesday that a vehicle failed to stop while heading into Canada from the U.S.
