File # 2023-38253

Multiple police officers could be seen on Dairy Road this morning as part of an ongoing investigation into weapons possession.

On Oct. 23, 2023, Kamloops RCMP frontline officers and Conservation Officers attended the 500-block of Dairy Road where a person allegedly shot a wild animal with a firearm. As part of the investigation, police obtained a search warrant related to the possible possession of weapons.

Due to the believed presence of firearms inside a residence, the Kamloops RCMP Detachment requested the support of the Southeast District Emergency Response Team to assist in a safe entry and execution of the search warrant, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP Detachment spokesperson.

A man was arrested for firearms offences and later released with a court date and conditions. Charge recommendations are anticipated as part of the assessment and approval process.

Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to please contact the Kamloops RCMP Detachment at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2023-38253.
