Kamloops RCMP have made one arrest after someone was seriously assaulted last weekend.
RCMP officers were called about an assault in the 700-block of Notre Dame Drive just after 5 a.m., Sept. 27, according to a press release from police issued today, Oct. 2.
The victim has life-threatening injuries and the Kamloops RCMP Serious Crime Unit is investigating the case.
“This incident was a senseless attack,” the unit’s supervisor Cpl. Dave Marshall said in the release. “The victim is known to be a kind and generous person who is described as helpful to other residents at the Merit Place Shelter.”
Police have one suspect still in custody, but are asking for the public’s help to find a missing backpack.
Kamloops RCMP are searching for this backpack related to an assault that took place on Sept. 27, 2025.
