A number of guests told Global News that people were questioned individually, but they had no further information to pass along.
In an email responding to an information request, police said two dogs were removed from the hotel and remain in custody “as part of the police investigation.” The email goes on to say staff at a shelter are taking care of both dogs, who “are safe and are doing fine.” Police said they could not confirm the breed at this time.
