Police are looking for witnesses to an offence that could have seen the New Year begin with a dangerous bang.
On Jan. 1, 2025, around 1:20 p.m., Kamloops RCMP frontline officers responded to the area of Schubert Drive and Richmond Avenue, where a suspicious item had been located on the beach. Shortly after, the Explosive Disposal Unit (EDU) was contacted to attend.
Based on the appearance of the item, officers believed it was a very small pipe bomb, which was later confirmed, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP Detachment spokesperson. Police immediately protected the area from public access until the EDU could attend and safely dispose of the item later that day.
