“There have been no charges laid and I am unable to expand beyond that at this time,” said Savinkoff in an email.
The building was closed to the public during the operation, with signage posted at the entrance. On social media, people several people noted a drone was also observed operating near the site, where heavy equipment is stored.
XCMG, a China-based company, is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of construction equipment, producing machinery used in sectors such as mining, forestry and infrastructure development.
The investigation comes amid recent legal developments involving the company. In March, a British Columbia court granted an injunction related to a dispute involving more than $32 million.
