UPDATE 4:15 p.m. – Kamloops RCMP say two people were taken into custody after reports of an assault with a weapon in Brocklehurst led to a large police presence on the North Shore this afternoon.

Police say they were called to an address on the 1700-block of Parkcrest Avenue over the noon hour. They say a suspect fled in a truck after allegedly assaulting and threatening someone with what appeared to be a gun.

“The primary suspect was known by police to have a history of violence and was wanted on an unendorsed warrant related to a previous robbery in Kamloops,” Kamloops RCMP Supt. Jeff Pelley said.

“Thanks to a quick and strategic multi-unit response, officers were able to locate and arrest two suspects – both of which are known to police to be associated with criminal activity – and safely take them into custody, with reduced risk to the general public and officers involved.”

Pelley says both suspects – who were not identified – are being held in custody, with charges expected to be recommended.

People who may have information related to the investigation are being told to contact the Kamloops RCMP Detachment at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2024-5974.
