UPDATE: One suspect was arrested on Tuesday (Oct. 1) afternoon after an incident in Knutsford.

Tk’emlúps Rural RCMP frontline officers were called at 7 a.m. on Tuesday to an address on the 3000-block of Rose Hill Road for a report of an assault in progress, according to an RCMP press release.

While on scene, officers confirmed the victim had left the residence and was safe, but the suspect may have access to weapons, including firearms.

“Due to the perceived risk presented by the possible presence of weapons, the assistance of the Southeast District Emergency Response Team was requested to help keep the situation as safe as possible,” said Cpl. Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP Detachment spokesperson.

A suspect surrendered on Tuesday afternoon and was safely taken into custody. The investigation is ongoing.
