Kamloops RCMP arrested a man and seized replica firearms late last week after receiving a report that a gun was pulled on another man in North Kamloops.
According to police, a driver on the 400-block Tranquille Road pulled a gun on another man then drove off on Friday, Sept. 10.
Officers responded to the area around 10:23 p.m. and later located the suspect on the 400-block of Mackenzie Avenue, where they conducted a "high-risk extraction" because a firearm may have been present, according to a Kamloops RCMP press release.
