KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP are looking for information that could help identify a suspect in a recent assault investigation.

Police were called to the 900-block of Norview Drive at about 11 a.m. on Saturday (June 14) for a report of a teenager who had been assaulted by a stranger about 10 minutes earlier.

The victim’s injuries were minor.

“The teenager was visiting family from out of town and it’s unknown why the stranger entered the yard, then physically assaulted the youth before running away,” Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Crystal Evelyn said in a media release.

Police conducted neighbourhood patrols and inquiries, but were unable to snare a suspect.
