UPDATE: Kamloops RCMP finish raiding commercial unit downtown
KAMLOOPS — Two men are wanted by police in connection to a lengthy investigation that led to a search warrant execution this morning.
As part of an ongoing investigation, Kamloops RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jodi Shelkie says officers executed a search warrant today at 1-1485 Lorne St. East downtown. That search warrant has now completed, and although police can’t comment on what was found or seized — extra caution was taken when a potential explosive device was found.
“During the search we did end up having to evacuate a neighbour that was in a residence and also a neighbour in a commercial business there,” Shelkie says. “We found some devices that we believed to be explosives however we did have the explosive device unit come in immediately and they determined that there was no risk. They found them to be benign and so the people were allowed back to their residence and to their business.”
