The response is related to an ongoing property crime investigation.

A section of the road near Laroque Street has been closed off to traffic as a result and residents are asked to avoid the area until it reopens to traffic.

“The Kamloops RCMP Detachment appreciates the public’s support and patience as it works to further this investigation into the ongoing concerns surrounding stolen property and crime in the community,” Cpl. Crystal Evelyn said in the release.
