RCMP officers executed a search warrant at a home in Kamloops on the North Shore in connection to a property crime investigation.
Members of the detachment’s Crime Reduction Unit, along with “frontline” officers, raided a home in the 1800 block of Parkcrest Avenue at around 10 a.m. today, Feb. 19, according to an RCMP media release.
RCMP said it was part of an ongoing criminal investigation into stolen property. A stolen electric bicycle and a dirt bike were recovered.
Later in the day, a suspect was arrested on Tranquille Road and remains in custody.
“The property in question is one that is well-known to the neighbourhood and to police for suspected criminal activities,” Kamloops RCMP officer-in-charge Supt. Jeffrey Pelley said in the release.
“We fully anticipate this ongoing investigation and proactive enforcement will lead to the submission of charge recommendations as part of the assessment and approval process."
Officers closed a section of Parkcrest Avenue near Laroque Street in the morning and police asked the public to avoid the area until the road had reopened and fewer officers were on the scene.
"We encourage the public to continue to provide assistance to police by reporting suspicious occurrences and sharing information with us, such as security video, which may be related to this or other offences," Supt. Pelley said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.
