Yesterday’s police presence in Aberdeen saw more than a dozen firearms removed from a residence, along with a variety of other property associated to crime.
On Tuesday May 20, 2025, the Kamloops RCMP Detachment’s Crime Reduction Unit (CRU), with the support of the Southeast District Emergency Response Team (ERT), executed a search warrant on Sifton Avenue.
The warrant’s execution was associated to a firearms investigation initiated by CRU, which proved to be productive given the number of items located and seized in the residence, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP Detachment spokesperson. The assistance of ERT was requested due to the high-risk nature involving the possible – then proven -- presence of weapons at the property.
