One man arrested after break-in and barricade led to large police presence at North Shore home Tuesday
KAMLOOPS — One man was arrested after reportedly breaking into and then barricading himself inside a North Shore home.
A large police presence was seen at the home on the 100-block of Angus Street Tuesday night. Kamloops RCMP say officers received the call at around 5:00 p.m. after a person returned to their home and found an unknown man inside. The homeowner left quickly, leaving only the suspect inside.
“On scene, officers observed a person in the home’s basement who appeared to be armed with an item and smashing things,” Cpl. Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson says in a news release issued Wednesday (April 2) morning. “The person was known to police, and they had interacted with him twice earlier that day. Based on their risk-assessment, the Southeast District Emergency Response Team was contacted to assist.”
