Winnipeg police have re-opened a number of downtown streets that were shut down Tuesday afternoon due to windy conditions.

Officers said Smith Street between Portage Avenue and Donald Street was closed around 3 p.m., along with Ellice Avenue between Garry Street and Donald Street.

Officers said they received a call from someone in one of the nearby buildings about what appeared to be a loose window high above the street.

Police and emergency crews were on scene, making sure there would be no risk to people below.
