Knives used in two Kamloops robbery and assault incidents

Police responded to two incidents involving knives on the weekend, Oct. 22/23.

Two separate incidents involving knife wielders in Kamloops occurred last weekend, one downtown and one on the North Shore.

Police were called to an area outside a business on Lansdowne Street on Saturday, Oct. 22, around 8:40 p.m.

A woman was allegedly robbed at knifepoint by a suspect known to her and to police, according to media release by the Kamloops RCMP.

Witnesses are asked to contact the detachment at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2022-38014 if they know anything about the incident.

The next morning police responded to a report of a man chasing another man around with a knife on the 1000-block of Halston Avenue.

Police attended the area just before 8 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 23, where the suspect exited an apartment shortly after and was arrested without issue.

He was later released on conditions and will appear in court at a later date.

Anyone who has security video, witnessed, or has information related to this investigation is asked to contact the Kamloops RCMP Detachment at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2022-38059.
