Bear spray assault

Kamloops RCMP are investigating an assault on the North Shore involving bear spray over the weekend.

Officers were called to the 700-block of Tranquille Road early Sunday evening after an employee had been assaulted with bear spray after asking a man to leave the store.

The suspect is described as a white man wearing brown pants and a black Reebok hoodie.

Fire hydrant struck

Kamloops RCMP are looking for witnesses and information related to a vehicle that reportedly crashed into in a fire hydrant in Sagebrush.

Officers responded to the 700-block of Fraser Street early Sunday morning where a newer, silver four-door sedan reportedly crashed into a yard and struck a fire hydrant, causing water to pour onto a property and into a house.

Police say several people described as youth, likely in their teens or 20s, were seen getting back into the car before it drove away. It’s believed to have front-end damage.
