KAMLOOPS — One man has been taken into custody, after Kamloops RCMP responded to a home invasion early Saturday morning on the city’s north shore.

Staff Sgt. Mat Van Laer says in a release that officers arrived at home in the 600 block of Comox Avenue around 1:20 a.m Saturday (August 1), after a firearms related report.

When police arrived, what is believed to be a get-away vehicle was intercepted, and one man was taken into custody.

Two of the home’s occupants were called out by police, and one of the residents suffered minor injuries at the hands of the home intruders.

The Emergency Response Team (ERT) was called out to the scene, and confirmed that nobody else was left behind.
