KAMLOOPS — UPDATE (5:00): RCMP are remaining tight-lipped about a major police incident in Kamloops this morning, that may have spread toward the Okanagan.

Early this morning, police cordoned off an area around Dallas Drive and McAuley Place.

Later in the morning, members of the public reported seeing a convoy of police vehicles heading down Highway 97, through Vernon and toward Kelowna.

There is a large police presence near downtown Kelowna this afternoon, but we have no confirmation that it is related.

RCMP will only say a situation is unfolding.
