A protester was arrested Tuesday at the Vancouver Art Gallery for allegedly breaching an injunction barring Occupy demonstrators from the site.
Police say the man had chained his bicycle several feet off the ground on a fence and refused to clear out. He was taken to jail.
On Nov. 18, more than a month after a tent city was established at the art gallery, a B.C. Supreme Court justice granted the city's request for a court order forcing Occupy Vancouver protesters to clear out their encampment.
The order also included a provision allowing police to arrest anyone impeding visitors trying to access art gallery property. Protesters complied with the order, only to move to the provincial courthouse one block away.
A second court injunction forced the Occupy demonstration out of that site the next day, and protesters have not set up a new encampment since then.
City officials were on site at the art gallery Tuesday to clear out tarps, garbage and personal items they say have recently appeared in violation of the injunction. About 15 protesters were at the gallery around 12 p.m., according to police.
The group continues to hold general assemblies every night at the art gallery.
