A large police presence was visible on 13th Street this weekend as part of a serious assault investigation.
On Friday Aug. 23, 2024, around 7:15 p.m., members of the BC-Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit-BC (CFSEU) Uniform Gang Enforcement Team (UGET) were in Kamloops assisting with increased crime suppression and presence efforts, when they located a victim with obvious injuries, outside of a residence known to police.
Based on the investigation that followed, assistance from the Southeast District Emergency Response Team (SED ERT) was requested to safely clear the residence and remove its occupants. A police presence was visible on the 1100-block of 13th Street while a search warrant was obtained and executed.

Several people were arrested and later released, two with conditions and a court date. Charges have not been laid, however, it is anticipated the investigation will result in a referral to the BC Prosecution Service for charge assessment.
The victim’s injuries were non-life threatening.
The investigation is ongoing, with the support of frontline officers, the General Investigations Support Team, and Targeted Enforcement Unit. No further information will be released at this time.
