Kamloops RCMP arrested a teenager after a break and enter attempt at a home in Brocklehurst early yesterday morning.

It happened in the 1100-block of Bentley Place, and police say a person allegedly climbed a garden trellis to get onto the second floor deck before being chased away by the residents.

“While police officers were patrolling the area, a civilian alerted them to a suspicious person who was running down a long driveway on Parkcrest Avenue. Police attended the address and as an officer approached a shed, a person ran out and into the darkness,” Evelyn said.

“The Police Service Dog tracked the person back to a residence, where a teenage suspect was identified and arrested.”

Evelyn says the suspect was released with conditions and a court date. She adds charges could be recommended.
