SALMON ARM, B.C. — Now here’s a prop designer who should get props for making a realistic-looking prop.

RCMP in Salmon Arm rushed to Okanagan Avenue yesterday (February 16) after two people reported a male walking with a suspicious object.

The witnesses described the object as “long and out of the ordinary,” and shrouded by a camouflage cover.

Schools in the area were told to lock down and all available police resources stormed the scene.
