KAMLOOPS — A teenager was sent to hospital with serious injuries after an assault on the North Shore Thursday (March 13) night.

Kamloops RCMP say the victim had been in a grey Volkswagen on the 700-block of Tranquille Road at around 9:30 p.m. Thursday when an altercation broke out with a group of people. The stretch of roadway is mostly bordered by Northills Shopping Centre.

“During the altercation, one of the passengers in the vehicle was struck with an object and suffered a serious injury, requiring emergency surgery,” Cpl. Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson, states in a news release issued Friday. “The victim, a teenager, remains in hospital. Details surrounding his condition are unknown at this time.”

A police presence is expected in the area Friday as officers, including those from the Forensic Identification Services and General Investigation Support Services Team, gather evidence which may be related.

“We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed, captured security video or dash camera footage, or been involved in the confrontation, to please come forward as soon as possible,” Staff Sgt. Janelle Shoihet states. “If you have a business in the area, please review your CCTV from that night, paying particular attention for the grey Volkswagen, to help us further the investigation into what transpired.”
