KAMLOOPS — UPDATE: RCMP say a high-visibility investigation in a North Shore neighbourhood this afternoon has yielded several arrests.
In a news release, RCMP say they served a search warrant at a home on 13th Street between Halston Avenue and Lethbridge Avenue just before 2:00 p.m. Thursday (Dec. 8). As part of the investigation, the street was closed off, nearby residents were told to stay inside, and the Southeast District Emergency Response Team (ERT) was called in to assist.
Superintendent Jeff Pelley says police were investigating forcible confinement, threats and gun offences.
“Due to the nature of the investigation and the risk assessment conducted, the Kamloops RCMP Detachment engaged the assistance of ERT for entry into the associated residence,” said Pelley. “Neighbours inside the containment area were requested to stay inside their homes as a safety precaution, until the suspects involved were taken into custody and the area was confirmed as safe.”
