POLICE INCIDENT

One man arrested following motel stand-off with Kamloops RCMP

Apr 19, 2020 | 8:10 AM

KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP have one man in custody after a stand-off at a Valleyview motel Saturday evening.

In a release, Sgt. Brandon Buliziuk says yesterday (Apr. 18) just after 10 p.m, RCMP responded to a call for service on the city’s north shore.

The suspect on scene fled in a vehicle, and police began searching for him. Around 11:50 p.m, officers found the suspect at a motel in the Valleyview area, and converged on the motel – attempting to bring the matter to a peaceful resolution.

A risk assessment of the situation required that some of the people staying in the motel had to leave their rooms until the incident was resolved.

Buliziuk says the situation was very visible, and RCMP were using loudhailers for communicating with the suspect. After about an hour of this, the suspect surrendered and was brought into custody.
