KAMLOOPS — A man has been arrested in Kamloops after an investigation into an attempt to impersonate a police officer.
In a news release issued Monday (Dec. 11), Kamloops RCMP say its General Investigations Support Team (GIST) went to a property on Versatile Drive on Wednesday (Dec. 6). As officers prepared to approach the man in a parking lot, RCMP say he ran into a business but was eventually arrested.
“It’s still early, but at this stage in the investigation, no local reports have been received to suggest someone in Kamloops has been actively impersonating a police officer,” S/Sgt. Todd Wiebe, who oversees the Kamloops RCMP Detachment’s GIST and Serious Crime and Targeted Enforcement units, says. “If anyone has information that may indicate otherwise, please contact the detachment as soon as possible.”
The Kamloops RCMP Detachment’s involvement in the investigation began in late November when it says it was contacted by the RCMP’s Federal Serious and Organized Crime Cybercrime Investigative Team.
