Several callers to 1130 NewsRadio around 6 p.m. reported seeing multiple police vehicles in the area of Canada Way and Smith Avenue.
A white tent was later visible at the scene.
The Burnaby RCMP has asked the public to avoid the area.

Burnaby RCMP officers could also be seen in an alley off Royal Oak Avenue near Deer Lake Park, where a vehicle fire was reported, around the same time. It isn’t clear if the two scenes are linked.
