Multiple police officers were present on Angus Street yesterday afternoon, in response to a man who had allegedly broke into, then barricaded himself inside a residence.
On April 1, 2025, around 5 p.m., Kamloops RCMP Detachment frontline officers were called to the 100-block of Angus Street after a person returned home and found an unknown man in their residence. The homeowner quickly left, leaving only the suspect inside.
On scene, officers observed a person in the home’s basement who appeared to be armed with an item and smashing things, said Corporal Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP Detachment spokesperson. The person was known to police and they had interacted with him twice earlier that day. Based on their risk-assessment, the Southeast District Emergency Response Team was contacted to assist.

The person was known to police and they had interacted with him twice earlier that day. Based on their risk-assessment, the Southeast District Emergency Response Team was contacted to assist.
After multiple attempts were made to convince the man to come out, the SED ERT was able to utilize response tactics, which resulted in the suspect’s safe surrender.
A man was taken into custody without incident and is being held for a bail hearing.
The Kamloops RCMP Detachment is appreciative to those in the neighbourhood for their patience and cooperation during the police response.
